Is this possible without even completing all 275?
Yes it is possible, but Somalia is a clan based society no clan really wants to miss out on “representation”.
This recent hold up with South West State can be resolved and bear in mind at least 255 MPs have already been selected its just a remaining 20 or so seats left. We can at least make sure those 255 have been sworn in and ready to take part in speaker of both houses elections but make sure the last 20 (Ceelwaaq & Jowhar) are ready for presidential elections.
Is that why they are just holding the inauguration even if the Lower House is incomplete? so that the 255 are official and they can finally hold a quorum?Yes it is possible, but Somalia is a clan based society no clan really wants to miss out on “representation”.

Yes a 139 quorum for Lower House & 28 for the Upper HouseIs that why they are just holding the inauguration even if the Lower House is incomplete? so that the 255 are official and they can finally hold a quorum?
Therefore, holding a quorum within missing representations from Gedo will raise renewed tensions?!
the country is parliamentary this will mean the powers of the country/president will be given to the new parliament as they are the only ones with legitimate mandate. Temporary speaker will be head of Gov.
Legally speaking, it is possible to hold elections for the two speaker positions without those 20 MPs. Realistically, this would make those elected speakers illegitimate.Yes it is possible, but Somalia is a clan based society no clan really wants to miss out on “representation”.

No clan should be left behind really. I think once these MPs are sworn in we should give Gedo & Jowhar 14 days to complete the lower house elections before the end of the month.Legally speaking, it is possible to hold elections for the two speaker positions without those 20 MPs.

Since Carta, the consensus has been that no clan can be left out of decision making. Farmaajo knows this and is using it to get more time.
There is only 3 seats in dispute in baidoasafe yourself some time and energy. There will be no elections until the last MP is selected. Last week it was all about 14 April will happen without Koonfur galbeed and today Geele is in baydabho the 4 seats will be freed. then election will happen in Gedo.
And only 2 are being ‘freed’. The swearing is going ahead. The plan was always to reselect Fahad Yasin. Nobody cares about the othersThere is only 3 seats in dispute in baidoa

Break down here. Madoobe wants to move on from the Gedo MPS because it’s tiring and without fruit to bear. It’s the Vice President and other MXs in Kismayo who insisted elections will not happen unless their beesha get representation. So now Madoobe is left wondering does he work with his Vice President and do something in Ceelwaaq or does he completely abandon the mission.Reer Gedo has nobody to blame but themselves by not allowing the legitimate Madobe government rule them, they shut themselves out of the selections process as a result
