Maslax's numbers will be out in about 5-7minutes.

Ngonge, dear even if the so called "stitch up" dowlo doesn't work out, we will always have caawa. We will remember this day for sometime to come. Sheikha brought together all of us here to share this joyful and historic day and tens of thousands more watching from all over the world, along with the hundreds who are in djibouti, who have been taking part in the long and gruesome process to electing the LEADER OF SOMALI REPUBLIC, aaaaaaaaaaaaaallaahu akbar. Men, women, old, young up this late in djibouti, waiting to hear that man take the mic and tell us that the bloodshed will finally come to an end and he will see to it that it happens, I couldn't have asked more than that caawa. Bless his heart, may he make us proud and prove ngonge's alike wrong. AAAMIIN

Aamin, the conclusion of the third ballot box just completed. Two more to go according to the announcer. He too is tired of calling shariifka's name, lol....

Maslax has just reached double digits, while shariifka u ordaayo 60+wins

So far, sharif is winning, only few votes went to maslax.

Ducaysane, you dont want me to expose your lies, ee why do you insist on talking about a man that you obviously have no clue about? First and foremost, adeer was never a member of a siyad barre administration. He only became a minister after the civil war, inta danbe, not during the old regime. However, he was a civil servant during the siyad barre days. The rest, it doesn't matter for you are arguing with me over a man that I know personally.

Hi che, how are you? We are waiting for our november 4th, 2008 moment caawa.

Horn, magacii kaa?

Ducaysane, you have no idea waxa aad ku hadleeso.

Xidigo, he is your abti? Wallaahi dheh? Adeer xuseen is a long time friend of the family. I'm sure he has. Adeer is the biggest old school for dawladnimo.

One of the fellaz in the scene just said " I am the generation that is ready to work for somalia". He said he doesn't care who wins it, he is ready and willing to work with the new leader of somalia. Allahu Akbar

The ballot boxes are almost filled. We might be nearing the end and the counting process may soon start, stay tuned. I put a phone call to everyone today, from europe to USA back to Ontario, Canada, they are either watching it or promised to watch as soon as they get home. My wi-fi connection is weak but I can not afford to miss sharif's victory speech.. The feed just changed back to interviewing shacabka djibouti joogo.

Maslax crowd of SOL is growing in numbers. I'm loving the peaceful atmosphere and the manner in which doorashada was conducted today. These men and women are determined to elect a leader, whoever that leader may be. Maslax is a comeback king but lets be realistic, what are his chances of catching up to sharif's numberS? XUSEEN CEELABE Faahiye, yay, he just voted.(only mp I recognize)

I just saw oday oo si uu daalka uga batay ayuu cosodka u gooyay. There is rumor flying around in the hall that someone stole one of xildhibaanada's ID badge.

Lol, one of the fellaz who was just interviewed said "I'm glad laaluushkii musqulaha leysku siin jiran iney dhamaatay oo si daacad ah aan madaxweyneheyna u dooraneyna maanta". hahahaha, laalush aa musqulaha leysku siin jiray, allah ceebteena inoo qari.

We are waiting for the voting to begin. They are probably printing those 8x11 sheets again. This is indeed going to be a lengthy process. The ballot box are in place once more. PS: Dukey, he got 15 from non ARS members, therefore he can only gain more votes.

Lol, one of the fellaz who was just interviewed said "I'm glad laaluushkii musqulaha leysku siin jiran iney dhamaatay oo si daacad ah aan madaxweyneheyna u dooraneyna maanta". hahahaha, laalush aa musqulaha leysku siin jiray, allah ceebteena inoo qari.

one of the 6 candidates just dropped from the race. I missed his name when it was announced but he said he is a newbie to the political scene and says "SOMALIYA HA NOO LAATO". Officially, gulwade wuu carare, he is not in the room and did not feel the need to announce his withdrawl formally. There are four candidates remaining.

lol Ducaysane, I wouldn't put past any of these candidates into discussing who they should put their support behind. Chances are Gulwade's 10 will not benefit him, so he must put his support behind a leading candidate, which one of the top 3 will it be? Edson is said to be leaning towards sheikha, thats 25 votes plus mohamud's 9 and some of the disgruntled nur cade supporter's vote and before you know it sheikha will hit a home runner. I'm confident sheikha will gain more than enough votes to secure the presidency.

This is just rumor but my sources just informed me that Maslax is infact having finger foods with Sharifta right now and making a deal under the table with him. According to my sources, maslax was heard telling sheikha that he will give him 20 of his votes by directing his loyalist to jotting sheikha's name if he is guaranteed the top position. On the other hand, Nur cade fell apart upon the news of losing by one vote and is now in confinement in the back room. They gave him sedative so he can face the music once more. Nur cade is reluctant to speak to his supporters into switching their votes to sheikha because he wants to prove that he can beat Maslax on round two.

^ your numbers are inaccurate, ee why do you insist posting that 217? Are you not watching the same process as the rest of us? Go, oo dhukayga iska soo bixi, dhagahaada caadi maaha@cawaale.

They will resume in 15 minutes. (Break for salaada, food etc)

Round 2 voting is as follows: Sharif sheikh Ahmed, Maslax, Nur cade, Qaleel, Edson, Gulwade They picked the top 6 vote getters. The proceeding for the second round is under way. Qaleel is on the mic, addressing the crowd.

^adiga, stop posting bs. SHEIKH SHARIF THE WINNER, the surprise candidate is Mr maslax, Mr Comeback. Nur Cade, rest in peace.

Final count for all candidates except Sheikha are as follows: Ahmex hashi mohamud, 9. Cali khalif qaleel, 31. cashare, 5. Maslax Mohamed siyad, 60. Edson, 25. Macalin Yusuf, 4. Nur Cade, 59. Nur cade was beaten by one vote. Maslax M. Siyad is the runner up, yay for maslax. PS: Sheikh sharaif got 215
