Former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday arrived in South Africa ahead of the country's upcoming General Elections slated for May 29.
The former president was received by High Commissioner Jane Ndurumo and officials of the African Union (AU) at Oliver Tambo International Airport.
South Africa will be casting votes to elect a new National Assembly and the Provincial Legislature in each of the nine provinces.
The African Union Commission (AUC) recently appointed Uhuru to lead the African Union Election Observation Mission (AUEOM) for the General Elections in the Republic of South Africa.
Election observation missions play an essential role in safeguarding the integrity of electoral processes by providing impartial assessments and recommendations.
As the head of the AUEOM, Kenyatta will lead a team of experts and observers responsible for monitoring various aspects of the electoral process, including polling and the tabulation of results.
This appointment highlights the continent's shared commitment to promoting transparency, credibility, and the integrity of electoral processes across its diverse nations.
