Jubaland votes for leadership as political fault lines deepen across Somalia

[Deeq A.]

Kismayo (HOL) — Jubaland’s parliament is electing its new leadership on Thursday to select a parliamentary speaker and two deputy speakers. Candidates are presenting their platforms, followed by voting and the swearing-in of the winners. This election marks a critical step ahead of Jubaland’s presidential vote scheduled for November 25, as the region moves forward with its electoral calendar despite federal objections.
