. The African Union (AU) issued a forceful statement today regarding the highly sought-after position of Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC).
The African Union (AU) has prohibited five nations from competing as front-runners in the upcoming elections for the position of African Union Commission Chairperson, as announced today, July 21, 2024. Among the nations that the African Union (AU) prohibited from nominating candidates for the position of chairperson of the commission were Sudan, Niger, Gabon, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea.
The African Union (AU) has suggested that the sanctions it has imposed on the aforementioned nations are the reason for the decision to exclude them from fielding candidates. Furthermore, the African Union has provided indications that the commissioners who will oversee the elections for the African Union Commission Chairperson will originate from the extensive regions of Southern Africa, Central Africa, and West Africa.
