MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somalia’s international partners on Tuesday hailed a decision by a parliamentary committee tasked with the organization of presidential election to hold the vote on May 15 and warned against any further delay.
“Somalia’s international partners welcome the announcement by the parliamentary organizing committee that the election of the President will take place on Sunday, 15 May 2022. We are encouraged by the positive progress in registering presidential candidates and other preparations for this electoral deadline to be met,” Somalia’s international partners said in a statement.
“There is no justification for any further delay. With both chambers of Parliament sworn in and fully functional, any outstanding electoral issue should be resolved by the duly elected parliamentary leaders.”
The international community urged Somali leaders to conclude “this final stage of the electoral process swiftly, peacefully and credible so that attention can turn to domestic and state-building priorities”.
