With only a few weeks to go before the election in Addis Ababa, Youssouf is making his final push to secure the position, currently held by Moussa Faki of Chad, whose second term concludes this year.
Youssouf, who has over 30 years of experience in diplomacy and governance, is running against Kenya’s former prime minister, Raila Odinga, and Madagascar’s former Foreign Affairs minister, Richard Randriamandrato.
Speaking to his supporters on social media, Youssouf expressed his confidence: "Dear friends and supporters, keep supporting me: rest assured that I will prevail, God willing."
He emphasized that his vision aligns with the African Union’s Agenda 2063, which focuses on promoting economic growth, peace, and development across the continent.
"My goal is to see Africa become a united, prosperous, and peaceful continent," Youssouf stated.
His campaign focuses on responsible leadership, good governance, and institutional reforms.
He aims to strengthen Africa’s voice on the global stage, promote gender equality, and enhance democratic processes.
Youssouf is also committed to advancing infrastructural development and improving Africa's economy.
As the election draws nearer, both Youssouf and Odinga are working tirelessly to secure support from African heads of state.
The winner will serve a four-year term, with the possibility of re-election for another term.
For Youssouf, this opportunity would allow him to continue his work of strengthening Africa's institutions and fostering collaboration among member states.
Meanwhile, Raila Odinga, who has also gained significant attention in the race, believes that he is the best candidate to drive the continent’s transformation.
He has outlined an eight-agenda plan, which includes a focus on economic development, intra-African trade, gender equality, and climate action.
Odinga’s supporters are working hard to gather the two-thirds majority vote needed for his election.
The February election will be a pivotal moment for Africa, as the new chairperson will play a key role in shaping the continent’s future.
