Thanks for your kind words & for flagging the SC judgment here! It’s deeply meaningful to see my work engaged with in such a landmark case. The Court’s use of my interpretation of Art 24(4), is a huge honour & I hope it draws more attention to value of research in shaping law!👇🏾

AU Commission Chairperson @ymahmoudali Congratulates Dr. Sidi Ould Tah on Election as @AfDB_Group President.

The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, extends his warm congratulations to Dr. Sidi Ould Tah on his election as the ninth President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group. He noted that Dr. Tah’s election is a testament to his exceptional leadership and steadfast commitment to advancing Africa’s development agenda.

Dr. Tah brings a wealth of experience to the role, notably through his tenure as Director General of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA). His track record positions him well to lead the AfDB at a critical juncture in the continent’s journey towards economic transformation, resilience, and sustainable growth.

The Chairperson highlights the AfDB’s central role in delivering Agenda 2063 and in advancing regional integration, infrastructure development, and inclusive prosperity. He welcomes the prospect of strengthened collaboration under Dr. Tah’s leadership, particularly on flagship initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), and the Africa Vaccine Manufacturing Initiative.

Chairperson Youssouf reaffirms the African Union’s full support for the Bank and expresses confidence in Dr. Tah’s ability to respond effectively to the continent’s most pressing challenges — from debt sustainability and food security to climate resilience and digital innovation.

In closing, the Chairperson pays tribute to Dr. Akinwumi Adesina @akin_adesina , the outgoing President, acknowledged his exemplary leadership and many achievements during his tenure. He wishes Dr. Adesina continued success in his future endeavours.

H.E. 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐢 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐟 was elected as the incoming Chairperson of the African Union Commission. He will be to be deputised by H.E. 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐢.

Both mandates are for four years, renewable once.
The two leaders were elected and sworn in at the 38th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government.

They garnered the required two thirds majority votes of the 49 member states eligible to vote. 6 AU member states are under sanctions and therefore ineligible to vote.

The elections and appointments of the AU Commission Commissioners were conducted during the Executive Council session of Ministers of Foreign Affairs.
