African Union Picks Kenya as Its UN Security Council Candidate

(Bloomberg) -- Kenya beat Djibouti to become Africa’s candidate in the selection of a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in June.

“We’re now Africa’s choice,” Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Macharia Kamau said by phone after the African Union voted Wednesday in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. Kenya will need at least two thirds backing from members of the UN to take the seat.
