The three candidates who are vying for the position of Chairperson of the African Union last Friday participated in the African Union Leadership Debate. They addressed African citizens as they presented their visions and ideas on the implementation of Agenda 2063.

The debate sought to provide an opportunity to outline their vision of how they would lead the transformation of Africa through the implementation of the AU Mandate and Africa's Agenda 2063. It was hosted ahead of the election of the next AU Commission Chairperson in 2025 during the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the AU, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
