AU member states will converge on February 6 to elect a new deputy chairperson for the AU commission headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The plebiscite will be pitting The Gambia’s former vice president Fatoumatta Jallow Tambajang with five other challengers. All five come with vast CVs but none can match that of Jallow Tambajang.
“I have an edge over the other candidates,” Jallow Tambajang tells The Fatu Network.
And she’s right. Jallow Tambajang’s leadership competence has seen her climb up to the role of vice president of a country, running the affairs of a whole nation when the president is not around. That’s no small feat. None of the other candidates have ever reached that level.
The AU commission will be richer for the arrival of Fatoumatta Jallow Tambajang. And member states must know this.
