Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble signed an agreement with the regional president to allow indirect voting.

Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble (Mohamed Hussein Roble) signed an agreement with the regional president to allow indirect elections and promised to conduct free and fair polls.

After months of delays triggered a crisis, the development began on Thursday.

The tribal elders originally planned to elect members of Parliament in December, and then members of Parliament will elect a new president on February 8.

In a dispute involving the formation of an election committee to monitor voting, neither procedure took place.

Disagreements have raised concerns that clans may open up to each other, and Al-Shabaab armed groups linked to al-Qaeda may use the security vacuum.

“My government and I are committed to implementing free and fair indirect elections. We are all responsible for ensuring that women receive a 30% quota (positions). I urge all state presidents to promote and implement this goal.” After signing the agreement, Rob Said at the ceremony.

The agreement was read out at the ceremony and stated that Robler and the five regional states will elect members of the election committee by Sunday.

Vote within 60 days

The agreement says that elections will be held within the next 60 days, and each district will vote in two locations.

“My dear brothers, politicians, whatever you need, put it in front of me. Don’t search elsewhere. Let us all forgive each other, and I ask you to forgive me,” Roble said.

Somalia’s original goal was to hold the first direct elections since the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, but the delay in Al-Shabaab’s preparations and continuous attacks forced Somalia to vote indirectly.

President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (the second president) seeks re-election. The opposition accused him of forming regional and national election commissions with allies.

In April, the House of Commons voted to extend the president’s four-year term for another two years.

The Senate refused to postpone, and troops opposed to this move seized positions in the capital. After that, they returned to the barracks.
