The term of African Union (AU) Commission Chairperson, HE Moussa Faki Mahamat ends in February 2025. This comes as the AU took its seat for the first time as a full member of the G20 in November 2024,  signaling international expectations of a more assertive AU. Beyond representing African interests in international fora, the AU shapes the continent’s economic vision, including through the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and crisis response.

At this event, Rt Hon Raila Odinga EGH, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya and candidate for AU Commission Chairperson, explores the complex issues confronting the AU and present his vision for the organization’s future.
