A lot has attended President William Ruto's declaration that his government will front and support Raila Odinga for the chairmanship of the African Union Commission.

The position will fall vacant in January 2025 at the end of incumbent Chairman Moussa Faki's second term. The unexpected aura of camaraderie between Raila and Ruto, hitherto fierce political opponents, caught both friend and foe flat-footed. Many politicians are still trying to come to terms with this development and make sense of it, and that is because for many, their careers hinge on either hanging onto Raila's coattails or throwing mud at him. 

Perhaps out of political expediency, most elected leaders have outwardly expressed support for the move. Already, there is talk of a handshake
