Mahmoud Ali Yusuf of Djibouti was elected as the new chairperson of the African Union Commission, defeating prominent candidates including Raila Odinga, a former Prime Minister of Kenya, and Richard Randriya Mandrato, an ex-Foreign Minister of Madagascar. The election was a key agenda item at the AU summit, which focused on filling senior leadership positions within the AU Commission, including the Chairperson, deputy chairperson, and six commissioners. The year 2024 was particularly busy for the union, with intense lobbying among the three candidates for this influential position that will shape Africa's leadership on the global stage.
