President Muse Bihi has been nominated to run for a second term by the Kulmiye in the forthcoming presidential election to be hend in November 2024.
Bihi is seeking re-election after his initial victory in 2017. His tenure was recently extended by two years, as authorized by the house of elders.
The Party has also named the nation’s interior minister, Mohamed Kahin Ahmed, as the party’s chairman. Minister Kaahin enjoys a long-standing alliance with President Bihi, rooted in their shared involvement in the struggle for Somaliland’s liberation from Somalia in 1991.
Abdiaziz Mohamed Samaale, a former minister, secured the position of deputy chairman following a competitive electoral process. Samaale’s victory was achieved by garnering 168 votes, triumphing over his close contender, Mohamed Elmi Adan.
