Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble, has convened the National Consultative Forum set to kick off on Thursday 19th August in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
All the five Federal Member States including Benadir Regional Administration are expected to grace the meeting with the aim of preparing for the upcoming elections.
Among the agendas of the conference is to ensure that all electoral procedures are completed and that the issue of electoral funds is sorted to ensure the smooth running of the elections.
Premier Mohamed Hussein Roble, who is heading to Egypt today, has been at the forefront in steering the country towards the presidential elections set to be held in October 10 2021, with sources speculating that he may be aspiring for the top seat.
Somalia has been entangled in political wrangles which resulted in the delay of the elections besides the squabbles between the federal government, federal member states and the opposition leaders.
But since Somali premier Mohamed Hussein Roble assumed office, he has managed to resolve the political impasse between the two warring sides and also succeeded in signing an agreement with the opposition paving way for the much-anticipated Somali elections.
So far, only two Federal Member States-Puntland and South West have concluded senate elections.
