AU elections suspended to 2017

The election of  chairperson is South Africa’s Dlamini Zuma’s successor has been suspended after none of the three running candidates attained the required two thirds of the vote.

In a dramatic morning session of the 27th AU summit in Kigali, 28 members absconded from voting.

I feel that the 28 who boycotted AUC elections were being pressured by big wigs 2 vote against their conscience. #27thAUSummit #AUKigali2016
