Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat on Thursday shared a photo of his meeting with Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

The photo prompted Kenyans on Twitter to advice the AU chairperson of what to tell President Uhuru Kenyatta as he said he would meet him later in the day.

Mr Faki had stated that he discussed with Mr Odinga on the “need for free, fair, peaceful elections in Kenya.”

Mr Faki trounced Kenya’s foreign cabinet secretary Amina Mohammed to become the fourth chairperson of the AU commission.

Kenyans on Twitter weighed in on the free, fair and peaceful election discussions.
