The Somaliland Local Elections Thread

Recommended Posts

no one is underestimating kulmiye but they got their tactics all wrong. silanyo has made strategic errors of the worst kind and i wouldn't be surprised if the xisbul xakim doesnt make it this time round. the big voting blocks are in the western regions - awdal and gabiely, the central regions in hargeisa and berbera, and eastern regions in burao. they don't have the votes of these important blocks. even within hargeisa kulmiye can be said to have only jigjiga yar secured.

are these the projections of somaliland.org?

 

the mood on the ground reveals a different picture. :D

 

did you know the djiboutians gave $500,000.00 to umada and they're planning a silent campaign very similar to hassan sheikh's shock victory in the somalia presidential elections. :D. at this early stage its there for the taking and it's quiet difficulty to make projections.

Somaliland: International Election Observers Report Good Progress

 

Sunday, 25 November 2012 18:13

 

Dr Steve Kibble is happy coordinating int election observers in Somaliland where where issues are solved by negotiations"We are pleased to be in a peaceful environment where issues are resolved by negotiation and discussion and relevant institutions are working towards a free and fair election. We hope this situation continues." Dr Kibble

Press release - SF-UK

International election observation team assembled by Progressio, DPU and Somaliland Focus (UK) reports good progress towards Somaliland's local council elections scheduled for November 28th 2012

The 55-strong team has assembled in the capital city of Hargeisa, ready to deploy to all six Somaliland regions, where voters will turn out at more than 1,700 polling stations on November 28th. The mission follows previous observations of elections in Somaliland in 2002, 2005 and 2010.

Once again, Somaliland's wide diaspora has a strong presence in the team, which draws on 15 countries including Canada, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, Sweden, Uganda, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

This year, for the first time, representatives from civil society organisations in Mogadishu in Somalia and Garowe in Puntland are accompanying the observer team to review the technical process of managing an election.

So far, the team has been pleased to observe lively and largely peaceful campaigning and a noticeable lack of serious tension. Discussions with civil society, local organisations and key players including Somaliland's president have gone smoothly, underlining our sense of Somalilanders' broad commitment to the political process.

The elections come at a significant stage in Somaliland's political development, following on from the 2005 and 2010 polls, both of which observers were able to judge free and fair. The 2010 presidential poll was especially notable for the peaceful and smooth transfer of power on the defeat of an incumbent.

This year's poll will determine the shape of Somaliland's future political terrain. Seven different political groupings are competing, and results will determine which three political parties, as determined under Somaliland's constitution, get to compete in national elections over the next decade. With the stakes so high, the potential for post-poll disputes is real.

However, the team is happy to note that Somalilanders' abilities to resolve crises using long-established traditions of discourse and negotiation have been put to the test during the campaign, and proved effective. In the cities of Burao and Berbera, disputes over polling-station allocation threatened to undermine stability. These were successfully resolved.

Yet serious grounds for concern remain, with the rejection by one party of the electoral code of conduct on the eve of the poll. The team hopes this late development will not undermine the good work done so far. Dr Michael Walls of UCL, the mission's joint co-ordinator, said "The code has been signed by all parties, and threats by any party or politician to unilaterally abandon seem to show little regard for the responsibilities of those making them. Complaints should be made through established channels. We call on all politicians to exercise their responsibilities with caution and to avoid threats or accusations that risk undermining Somaliland's hard-won stability."

Fellow joint co-ordinator Dr Steve Kibble of Progressio said "We are pleased to be in a peaceful environment where issues are resolved by negotiation and discussion and relevant institutions are working towards a free and fair election. We hope this situation continues."

XX, idea of party politics is that one chooses one party. XX is choosing 3 parties for us. :D

XX is out of touch and his legendary commentary on Somaliland politics have long ago passed its sell-by date. XX is still peddling the victim mentality of kulmiye in previous years as though its still in opposition. kulmiye have failed to deliver and NO longer the party of choice. everywhere across Somaliland the tide of change is apparent and all demographic groups are looking to the leader of the future to restore hope. Jamal Ali Hussein the popular leader of UCID is loved by all.

 

XX, can you tell us why Silanyo goes to London once every 3 months? the chevening declaration and Somaliland-somalia conference season is over! is it because this old man has his tri-monthly diapers replaced at Guys Hospital. this senile dementia-suffering crook with his two henchmen (hersi and mohamed abdulahi omar) and their thuggary are ruining the country. some alleged he died last year! that makes the length between meles's death and its belatedly announcement seem less choreographed. :D
