African countries that will not participate in the AUC voting

As the clock ticks and with three days to the African Union Commission (AUC) elections, the candidates have started finalizing their campaigns after months of lobbying across the continent.

The election will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on February 15 and 16.

However, in this year’s election, at least six countries will not take part in the voting process.

These countries, which include Niger, Mali, Guinea, Gabon, Burkina Faso and Sudan are suspended for various reasons ranging from coups to civil wars.
