Antoinette Batumubwira

Antoinette Batumubwira (born 23 MayFact|date=June 2008 1956) is a Burundian politician. She has been foreign minister of the country since August 2005.

In late 2007, Batumubwira was named as a candidate to succeed Alpha Oumar Konaré as Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union in the election for that post in early 2008. [Jean-Pierre Nkunzimana, [http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/599370 "Burundi seeks to join Commonwealth"] , "The New Vision" (Uganda), November 27, 2007.] The government tried to obtain the support of other African countries for her candidacy, and East African countries pledged that they would support her; however, the government later withdrew her candidacy and backed Jean Ping of Gabon.
