MOGADISHU [SMN] – The Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Mohamed Hussein Roble, is disappointed with the 26 December 2021 statement from the Office of the President on the ongoing national elections.
The statement from the President was intentionally meant to disrupt the ongoing national elections which are currently underway across the country.
Considering the timing of the statement from the Office of the President, which came after the Prime Minister had announced an upcoming National Consultative Council meeting to accelerate the electrons and enhance the transparency and credibility of the electoral process, it is, unfortunately, clear that the President is hell-bent on disrupting the forthcoming consultative forum; a move which is indicative of the President’s unchanged yearning to further protract the ongoing national elections for personal interest.
During his tenure in office, the President, regrettably, invested so much time, energy, and finances in frustrating the national elections and seeking illegal term extension, adversely affecting the ongoing efforts to expedite the national elections and enable the country to hold peaceful elections.
