Hargeisa (SL Times): UCID party’s acting secretary general and shadow Minister for Security and Defence, Ali Haji Mohamed has resigned.
In a letter of resignation addressed to UCID Chairman on March 11, 2003, and copied to the press, Mr. Ali Haji Mohamed said he was resigning his party posts because of his dissatisfaction with the way UCID was being managed as of late.
"While I wish the party victory in the next Presidential elections, I must however stress that UCID should try all possible avenues for winning over the supporters of the political organizations that failed in the last municipal elections," he said.
Ali Haji Mohamed concluded by saying, "there is no reason why seeking the support of these organizations should been seen as a risky business."
Somaliland held successful municipal elections on Dec 15, 2002. Six political organizations (ASAD, HORMOOD, KULMIYE, SAHAN, UCID and UDUB) had contested these elections. UDUB, KULMIYE and UCID were declared winners of the local elections and hence are eligible for taking part in the coming Presidential and legislative elections, slated for April and May 2003 respectively.
