The Commission for the Registration of Political Associations and Approval of National Parties says it will soon announce which three parties will participate in the upcoming Somaliland Presidential elections.
The chairman of the committee Sa’eed Mohamed Elmi said they have completed voter tallying across the country and will make public which political organisations will be registered.
Fourteen political organizations are competing to be selected to become national political parties.
“We have finished our national tallying exercise for supporters of political organizations in all regions of Somaliland, today 31st October 2022. We have gone round the country to inspect and tally the 1,000 supporter threshold needed by all political organizations to become national political parties.”
He said that only political organizations that have garnered the support of all regions will be selected from the list of aspirants.
The registration of political organisations remains a thorny issue with opposition parties Wadani and UCID demanding that the exercise should be conducted after the presidential elections while President Muse Bihi has maintained the process will be held first before the presidential elections.
