| Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni discussed with Kenya's William Ruto about Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga's candidacy for the top African Union (AU) position. | |
| Mr Odinga is seeking support from different African countries to help him succeed current AU Commission chair Moussa Faki Mahamat when his term ends in February next year. | |
| Mr Museveni hosted both Mr Ruto and Mr Odinga at his Kisozi country home on Monday. | |
| “I am very grateful to President Museveni for strongly endorsing my candidacy and to President Ruto for fully backing it,”Mr Odinga shared on X, formerly Twitter. | |
| The meeting of the three leaders appears to have surprised many in both countries. | |
| This follows recent rivalry between Kenya and Uganda and between Mr Ruto and Mr Odinga. | |
| Last year, Mr Odinga led a series of nationwide protests against President Ruto's government over the cost of living, sparking political tensions between the leaders. | |
| In November, a bitter row over fuel supplies erupted between Kenya and landlocked Uganda, with Mr Museveni saying his country was being "cheated" by "parasites" and middlemen in Kenya. | |
| Following the meeting on Monday, President Ruto shared on X that he and President Museveni have “agreed on a way forward” and that “the issues affecting the flow of petroleum products between Kenya and Uganda are being resolved”. | |
