Published on May 10, 2020, Kenya's bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2021-2022 term has received a significant boost after the Africa Group endorsed the country's candidature.
The endorsement was secured after Kenya garnered 37 votes against Djibouti's 13 during a session by the 54-member regional group in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Africa Group comprises all 54 African Union member states, which make up 28% of UN membership.
Kenya's win comes after a second round of voting by the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday.
Kenya initially garnered 33 votes out of 49 ballots cast in the first round of voting held on August 5, falling short of the two-thirds threshold.
