Raila Odinga has officially unveiled his academic and professional credentials as he launches his bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson post.
ODM leader Raila Odinga has presented his suitability to run for the post, showing his academic qualifications, including a Master’s degree.
As borne in his campaign material, Raila is an alumnus of prestigious international institutions where he contained his credentials.
He holds a Master of Science (Mechanical Engineering, Production Technology) from Magdeburg Technical School and Otto-Von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany.
Raila also boasts of a certificate in Standardization and Quality Control from the University of Denver, Colorado, USA.
Further, he holds a certificate in Establishment of Natural Physical Standards from the National Bureau of Standards and Technology from Gaithersburg, MD., USA, and another certificate in Standards Specification Writing from the British Standards Institution (BSI Group).
In addition, in a strategic move to garner support across the continent, Odinga outlined a manifesto that reflects his long-standing commitment to Pan-Africanism, economic transformation, and continental unity.
His candidacy, now set to be officially endorsed by President William Ruto next week, positions him as a formidable contender for one of Africa’s most influential roles.
The former Prime Minister’s manifesto for the AUC Chairperson role is built on six core pillars: Economic Transformation, Enhancing Intra-African Trade, Financial Independence, Gender Equity and Equality, Agricultural Transformation, Climate Action, and Continental Integration.

Odinga’s emphasis on peace and security stands out as a cornerstone of his vision.
He articulates a clear strategy to address the root causes of instability across Africa, aiming to create a conducive environment for development and prosperity.
Odinga’s Pan-Africanist credentials he argues are “unrivaled”, with his political philosophy deeply intertwined with a commitment to harnessing Africa’s vast resources for the continent’s collective benefit.
His leadership style is described as visionary and action-oriented, qualities that have been consistently demonstrated through his roles in Kenya and across Africa.
As Prime Minister, Odinga was instrumental in introducing performance contracting in government, a move that significantly improved accountability and financial management in public service delivery.
