Somalia's National Assembly Speaker Mohamed Mursal Abdirahman has failed to reach an understanding with President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo and Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire over the latter's stance in the South West elections.
Radio Dalsan has learnt that the Speaker held separate meetings with the President and Prime Minister on Monday night to discuss the issues.
Abdirahman also met his Deputy Mahad Awad
The Speaker is said to have tabled three issues of concern to the President and Prime Minister.
He has demanded that the Federal government play a neutral role in the upcoming Southwest State elections.
He pointed out that the government had publicly shown to favour two candidates in the race at the expense of regional presidential hopeful and former Alshabaab deputy leader Mukhtar Robow.
Federal government had earlier protested Robow's candidature.
Abdirahman has asked the government not to send back the 100 federal police officers sent last week to Baidoa to maintain law and order in the polls.

Will the FGS force him out like former speaker Jawari?
