President William Ruto on Thursday traveled to Zanzibar to meet Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu. The Political Federation, according to Museveni, will most certainly guarantee the prosperity of people through a larger market while also ensuring their strategic security. The ultimate aim of the EAC's regional integration process is the Political Federation. Article 5 (2) of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community provides for the idea of the Political Federation. In May 2017, the EAC Heads of State adopted the Political Confederation as a transitional model toward achieving the Political Federation.
