On Tuesday, Somaliland house of elders endorsed the election timeline set by the National electoral commission along with the Political parties. The two main opposition parties Waddani and Ucid have strongly welcomed the endorsement.
The chairman of Waddani party Abdirahman Cirro said that this coming election will allow young aspiring politicians to be elected and others will cast their vote for their first time in history.
The Deputy secretary general of Ucid party Abdinasir Yusuf Qodax described the move as a lasting solution which ended a long running disagreement between the Political parties over the timing of Parliamentary and local council elections.
On Tuesday, the house of elders agreed that the country’s parliamentary and local council elections will take place on 31 May of this year as proposed by the President and the Electoral commission along with the Political parties.
