Somaliland: President Silaanyo Requests Halt To Recount, NEC Chair demurs.

Hargeisa(Qarannews)- According to reliable sources within the presidency, who wish to remain anonymous, Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Silaanyo" telephoned to the chair of the Somaliland Electoral Commission (NEC) Eng. Ise Yusuf Mohamed "Ise Hamari" on Sunday to request the cancellation of the proposed recount of votes in the local election council in Hargeisa and Marodi Jeh.

 

Citing the need for the safeguarding the nation's stability and security and the validity of the recent local council election, President Silaanyo made his request to the chair and was rebuffed.

 

Our sources confirm that the NEC chair Eng. Ise Hamari demurred on the President's request along with another request by the erstwhile Presidency minister, Hersi Ali Hassan, that only the votes from the district of Ahmad Dhagah be recounted in the presence of Xaqsoor members.

 

Our sources also confirmed that the chair of the Somaliland Electoral Commission (NEC), Eng. Ise Yusuf Mohamed "Ise Hamari" had threatened to resign if there are more interference from the administration in NEC procedures and process.

 

Having met with the party leaders, the NEC commission have committed themselves to a recount of the whole of Hargeisa and Marodi Jeh ballots, box by box.

 

Our attempts to contact the chair of the NEC to go on the record on this matter have been unfruitful, as the chair is not answering neither his office or mobile phones.

Che, they would have if it was about small irregularities. But it seems Kulmiye won in most districts while being least popular. And to make matters worst Kulmiye Chairmen seems to have several cousins get elected in Hargeysa. This added more fuel.

No. Somaliland politics is all about clan based party politics. Just check who got elected for which party and their sub clan. How will you avoid clan passion.
