Reports that multiple lawmakers would be travelling to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, ahead of the African Union Commission (AUC) elections raised an online furore yesterday, with many questioning the need for such a delegation.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be seeking to succeed Moussa Faki Mahamat as the AUC chairperson and faces Djiouti’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mahamoud Youssouf and former Madagascar Foreign Minister Richard Randriamandrato in elections slated for Saturday.
