Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Sunday arrived in Zanzibar to attend the East African Community (EAC) ministerial meeting in Kiwengwa, where he will engage with ministers on various matters of regional interest.

Odinga's visit aligns with Kenya's endorsement of his candidacy for the upcoming African Union Commission (AUC) Chairmanship elections.

His deliberations with EAC ministers will center on enhancing regional cooperation and advancing the AU's agenda for continental integration and development. 

Kenya's steadfast support underscores his leadership credentials and commitment to fostering unity across Africa.

Raila Odinga's presence in Zanzibar not only emphasizes his role as a unifying force within the East African region but also underscores his strategic vision for promoting economic collaboration and political stability. 

These constructive dialogues aim to fortify bonds among East African nations and enhance the AU's capacity to effectively address regional and global challenges.

The former premier is also expected to join the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and the Kenyan delegation at the event.
