The Pan-African Parliament sat in South Africa , Midrand earlier today and  elected Hon. Senator Fortune Charumbira as the president of Pan-African parliament. The African legislative arm of the African Union is holding an ordinary session at its South Africa base this week.

Last year, the parliament could not elect new leadership after the proceedings descended into chaos when MPs differed on the principle of rotation in the five regions and were not able to choose the new leadership.

The African Union had to step in and bring its legal counsel this time around to elect the President and other representatives.

The new elected President, Hon. Fortune Charumbira has taken his seat as the President of the 6th Pan African Parliament

Mahamat says the new leadership is faced with a myriad challenges on the continent.

“The unfortunate events that took place in May/June 2021 on the occasion of the election of the bureaus have tarnished the image of this institution and that of an entire continent.”

Faki says the parliament must turn over a new leaf.

“The time has come that we turn this very sad page to the annals of history and start a new page. It’s time to renew your behaviour and be a source of pride for the African Union.”

Tuesday’s proceedings were delayed as a result of rolling blackouts in the country.
