CS Kuria claims Raila Odinga will leave the AU job to run for the presidency in the 2027 general elections

CS Kuria claims Raila Odinga will leave the AU job to run for the presidency in the 2027 general elections.

Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has said that Raila Odinga will still be on the ballot in 2027 even if he wins the position of head of the African Union Commission (AUC).

Kuria claims that the opposition leader is just running for the top seat in the AUC to keep himself busy while he waits to run for president in the general election of 2027.

“Baba is filling time so for him to get something productive to do is good instead of wasting a good brain. He was not born to be chairman of AUC he was born to be a politician in national politics,” he said on Monday.

Speaking on Spice FM, Kuria maintained that if Mr. Odinga gets the job, he will step down from the position and turn it over to another East African leader to finish his four-year term.

“People who’ve got no bearing of history think that Baba is going anywhere. Baba is coming back. He will do two years,” Kuria noted.

“He is going to call it short and maybe give it to another East African to finish for him maybe Kikwete as he takes care of some urgent business.”

Kuria however asserted that he supports Raila Odinga’s bid for the AU job which he says will bolster the region economically.

“I am supporting Raila Odinga to the AU so to have representation of people of the caliber of Raila Odinga in AU is paramount [and is] good for our politics, for East Africa and we’ll do anything possible to ensure that he gets that position.”
