Pan African Parliament congratulates Moussa Faki on his reelection as AU Commission Chairperson

The Pan-African Parliament (PAP), through its Bureau, has congratulated Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat on his re-election as the African Union Commission Chairperson for another four-year term.

He was elected at the just concluded Summit of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU). He is from the Republic of Chad.

PAP described the extension of his mandate as a vote of confidence in his leadership to steer our Union ahead.

“The Pan-African Parliament rejoices at his re-election and calls on him to continue leading the implementation of Institutional Reforms of the Union while improving the efficacy of programme implementation”.

The PAP Bureau has also expressed warm congratulations to Dr. Monique Nsanzabaganwa from Rwanda, who was elected Deputy Chairperson of the AU Commission. She is the first women to occupy this position.

The PAP Bureau notes that this is a strong signal for the AU’s commitment to women empowerment and gender equality and balance at the continental level.

The Pan-African Parliament looks forward to working with the Chair and his Deputy as well as the new team of Commissioners in building the Africa We Want.
