Mursal is blamed for pushing for an extension of time in the midst of the voting crisis in Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Lower House President Mohamed Mursal is reportedly pushing for the extension of outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, in yet another move that has sparked division in the country, in violation of the provisions of the Constitution.

The period of the current administration expired on February 8, but the country is not yet holding elections despite plans to start regional and national polls in December last year following the agreement on the prevalence on September 17.

According to Abdullahi Nor, a federal MP who was among the 15 who were suspended from attending parliamentary meetings, speaker Mursal told the team that the September 17 pre-election agreement cannot accommodate waters, adding that there is a need for extension of the term of office.

“With my colleagues who were anti-extension MPs during our meeting with Speaker Mursal, he made it clear that he believes that on September 17. The agreement is dead as the timeline expired on February 7, and the only option , what is left is a two-year extension, “he said in a tweet.

The country’s leadership is currently meeting at Halane Base Camp as they struggle to reach agreement following pressure from the international community and other stakeholders concerned about Somalia’s future.

Farmajo is said to be secretly pushing for overtime, a move that has been opposed by several stakeholders, particularly the political class. He has come under enormous pressure, with some leaders dismissing him as a dictator.

“A president who claims to be a messiah and here to save Somalia; Media propaganda led by Somali National TV and social media court trolls; Use the military and intelligence as his private militia; The prevalence of HR violations,” said Abdirizak Mohamed, a federal MP.
