Somali presidential candidates threaten to boycott poll, accuse president of fronting spies to elections body

Sunday November 8, 2020

MOGADISHU (HOL) - Twelve presidential aspirants among them two former presidents in Somalia have threatened to boycott the upcoming elections citing interference by the incumbent President Mohamed Farmaajo.

In a rare joint statement, the 12 candidates who include ex-presidents Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and immediate former PM Hassan Khaire said Sunday they will not take part in the upcoming poll unless the membership of the elections committee is reviewed.
According to the statement, Farmaajo who is seeking a second term has packed the Federal Elections Committee with intelligence officials, civil servants and individuals close to him.
A notable figure in the 25 member committee released last week is Villa Somalia deputy chief of staff Abdinur Mohamed.

The appointments, the presidential candidates said contravened the Provisional Constitution and political agreements including the one reached into by the President and Federal Member State leaders in Mogadishu in September.

Earlier, the Forum for Political Parties Coalition which comprises of six key political parties expressed similar sentiments accusing the president seeking to influence the upcoming elections.

Walahi o bilahi i Sheikh Sharif would be the first to be put in jail if I was president.

All that dameer did was steal millions whilst accomplishing 0 and even probably strengthening al shabaab behind our backs.

he is a FAILURE. A thug and a tuug.

Another thing I would make sure is that no former President is able to run for election without a massive positive track record.

Somalis don't deserve to even smell democracy until they get their shit together. We need a president with the vision Lee Kwan Yew, the testicles of Putin, the diplomacy of Franklin D Roosevelt, and the grip of the CCP party.
