Somalia appeared to hit the first hurdle in preparing for the upcoming indirect elections after officials disagreed on who should be members of the electoral teams for the breakaway region of Somaliland.
The planned selection of leaders for the State Indirect Electoral Implementation Team (Sieit), responsible for Somaliland, ended up with two parallel lists of officials.
The Sieit for Somaliland is comprised of 11 members, like any other Sieit for the five federal member states, namely Puntland, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, South West and Jubbaland. It was, as per the plan, supposed to elect its own chairperson and deputy, as others have, before the teams are trained to prepare delegates for the vote due from July 25.
