Raila arrived in Ethiopia on Wednesday evening.
During his stay in Ethiopia, he is expected to hold key meetings with various diplomats from across the continent as he ramps up his hunt for the African Union Commission chairperson position.
The meeting will serve as Raila's official continental campaign launch after President William Ruto unveiled him as the country's sole candidate for the AUC job.
“The Addis event is a follow-up to the 27th August 2024 official reception of the candidature of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga in Nairobi is meant to provide a platform for the candidate to engage with core players, formations and partners of the AU. The candidate will use the forum to outline his pan-African vision and priorities in line with AU Agenda 2063.
"The candidate will crown the activities with a keynote address at the Grand Campaign Reception to be held at the AU Multipurpose Hall on the evening of November 8, 2024,” a statement from his campaign secretariat said.
