At our meeting with your esteemed self as the African Union Commissioner for Infrastructure, Energy, and Tourism, on 20 April 2017, we agreed to escalate the matter to the Chairperson of the AU Commission in order for him to raise the matter officially with the Government of the Republic of Seychelles, and share with it the disadvantage of having another candidate coming from Africa contrary to the consensus decision of the African Union Heads of States and Governments.
By this letter, we are therefore appealing to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission to approach the Republic of the Seychelles to put the interest of Africa first and to withdraw their candidature and work with Hon.
Ange from Seychelles as a candidate cognizant of the fact that Seychelles participated in all the processes of SADC and the AU to reach the decision for a single African candidate in the person of Hon.
