Kenya is facing stiff competition from Djibouti which has the support of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, French-speaking nations and some major global powers.
The two East African states faced off at AU vote earlier this year in which Nairobi carried the day but Djibouti vowed to continue the race at the corridors of the UN.
