AUC Chair: Some of the countries supporting Raila

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has said he will accept the outcome of the African Union Commission chairperson elections.

The former prime minister is vying for the AUC chairmanship, with the election set to take place on Saturday, February 15.

Raila said he would graciously return home if he did not win the election.

As the tenure of incumbent AUC chair Moussa Faki nears its end, Raila is banking on support from African leaders to secure the position.

Raila said that several African leaders had encouraged him to vie for the post.
