12 hours to vote for a Pro-Life and Pro-Family African Union Chairman

Africa stands at a decisive moment. In less than 12 hours, the leaders of this great continent will gather in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to elect the next Chairperson of the African Union Commission. This is not just another bureaucratic process. This is not just another election. This is a battle for Africa’s future, a decision that will shape policies impacting families, governance, and economic development across the continent.

For too long, external forces have dictated the future of Africa. They have poured billions of dollars into projects that do not reflect the continent’s values. They have bullied leaders into accepting policies that threaten the traditional family, undermine national sovereignty, and impose foreign ideologies. Now, they are waiting in the shadows, hoping that African leaders will surrender to their pressure once again.

But this time, the people of Africa must rise. The AU election is not just a political process—it is a defining moment that will determine whether African leaders will stand firm or bow to foreign influence.

The election will be conducted by secret ballot, with the winner required to secure a two-thirds majority. If no candidate achieves this after three rounds, the contest will narrow to the top two candidates. This is where pressure must be applied. This is where voices must be raised.

The candidates vying for the position are Raila Odinga of Kenya, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti, and Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar. The question is, who will defend Africa’s values? Who will resist external manipulation and put Africa first?

The stakes could not be higher. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission will play a decisive role in shaping the continent’s policies. If the wrong leader is chosen, Africa could face policies that promote abortion, erode the traditional family, and weaken national identities. But if the right leader is elected, Africa can stand strong, protect its people, and safeguard its values from external attacks.

Africans cannot afford to sit back and watch. The time for passive observation has passed. The decisions made in this election will have consequences for generations to come. It is time to take action.

Every leader voting in this election must know that their people are watching. Every president must be reminded that their decision will be remembered. This is the moment to hold them accountable. This is the moment to demand that they vote for a leader who respects life, family, and sovereignty.

There is no room for complacency. There is no time for waiting. The vote will happen in a matter of hours. If the wrong decision is made, Africa will be forced onto a path that is difficult to reverse. But there is still time to make a difference.
