Himilo Qaran has accused President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of corruption, constitutional violations and manipulating Somalia’s electoral process.
The party rejected the federal government’s authority to organize elections in federal member states, calling instead for an inclusive national political agreement involving the country’s major political actors.
The debate surrounding the political forum and a recent court ruling has further highlighted calls for clearer election rules, negotiated political arrangements and a defined division of powers between the federal government and member states.
