Somalia faces political crisis without deal over election

By MOHAMED SHEIKH NOR | Bloomberg News | Published: February 6, 2021 MOGADISHU, Somalia (Tribune News Service) Somalia’s leaders failed to reach consensus after a three-day meeting to address obstacles to holding presidential elections next week, raising the prospect of a political crisis in the Horn of Africa country. The outcome of the meeting in the city of Dhusamareeb is a clear indication it won’t be possible to hold elections as scheduled, Parliament Speaker Mohamed Mursal told lawmakers Saturday. It is the responsibility of parliament to uphold the constitution and provide a solution, he said. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, popularly known as Farmajo, assured lawmakers there won’t be a power vacuum when his tenure ends on Feb. 8. It is the responsibility of parliament to ensure no such scenario emerges, he said Saturday. There are no publicly available details about how this could be achieved if the vote is delayed.
