Mogadishu (HOL) — Somalia’s Federal Government has rejected the ongoing elections in Jubaland, accusing the region’s leadership of manipulating the process to maintain its grip on power. The leadership elections, held in the southern port city of Kismayo, saw Jubaland’s legislature re-elect close allies of President Ahmed Madobe, who is widely expected to retain his presidency in a vote scheduled for November 25.
