Somalia shifts regional election’s venue to Dhusomareb town
The committee organizing the upcoming regional election for central Somalia has relocated the location of the planned elections from Adado town to Dhusomareb.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the committee said their decision was made with the consideration of a request from the clans in the region who preferred Dhusomareb over Adado.
The development comes after security taskforce from the African Union and Somali government have arrived in Adado town to assess the security of the town.
No comment could be reached from Adado authorities on the latest development.
The regional election with several candidates running for the region’s president portfolio is a big test for the Somali government which is trying to adopt the federalism system across the country.
No date has been set for the election for the Central region, however, candidates are making their final campaigns to woo voters. It’s too early to know the leading candidates running for the election which will probably see a tough contest.
