Summary
If the federal electoral commission accepts her candidacy, she will be only the second woman in Somalia’s history to contest the presidency.
In 2004, Asha Ahmed Abdalla sought Somalia’s top leadership position. That vote was held in distant Kenyan capital Nairobi as Mogadishu then was an arena for warlords.

Summary
Somalia will conduct indirect elections this time, again, where delegates from the five federal states, appointed through clan elders and the NEC, are sent to designated venues to vote.
The country does not nominate MPs like other countries do to increase minority groups in parliament.
