International Olympics Committee (IOC)president Jacques Rogge told reporters in Nairobi Thursday his association was not concerned about London 2012 Olympics following Conservative leader David Cameron taking over Britain's leadership from Labour's Gordon Brown.

The Belgian national who is on a two-day visit to Kenya disclosed London 2012 Olympics Local Organisation Committee led by Lord Sebastian Coe had engaged all political parties in Britain in dialogue when the city won the bid and change in administration would therefore, not impact on the Games' preparations.

"It is the standard policy of IOC to involve all political groups in a country, government and opposition in dialogue and it was not different in Britain where Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats were engaged. This is due to the fact that today's opposition could be tomorrow's government and we are not worried about London 2012 due to change of Government," Roggesaid at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport upon his arrival from Lusaka, Zambia.

He expressed his wish that an African city would bid to host the 2020 Games without giving assurances it was the continent's chance to host the quadrennial event that is the biggest sporting carnival on earth.

"Cape Town came a credible third when they bid for the 2004 Olympics (that went to Athens, Greece) in 1997 and since then, South Africa focused on and got the FIFA World Cup that will be the biggest event this year. I hope an African city can show willingness to host the 2020 Olympics since we cannot say it is Africa's time."
