Somalia has formed an African Union Commission (AUC) Election Campaign Committee to lobby for its candidate.
Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre announced the formation of the committee on Saturday.
The committee comprises top government officers.
These include cabinet ministers Daud Aweis, Bihi Egeh, Abdirisak Omar Mohamed, Abdisalam Abdi Ali, Ali Omar, and Abdullahi Ahmed Jama.
The committee will lobby other African nations to support Somalia’s candidate.
Somalia announced that it would front Fawzia Yusuf Adam to compete with Kenya’s Raila Odinga for the position of the AUC Chairperson.
The elections for the AUC Chairperson take place in February 2025.
