Hargeysa,
Somaliland, October 24, 2009 (SL Times) – Somaliland President Dahir
Rayale Kahin has finally forwarded the list of the seven members of the
electoral commission.
The president had previously rejected three members of the electoral
commission that were nominated by the Upper House and the opposition
parties which was a clear abuse of presidential power, since it is
parliament’s job and not the president’s job, to either confirm or
reject candidates to the electoral commission. Nevertheless the Upper
House and the opposition parties decided to change the nominees that the
president rejected in order to cut short the president’s delay tactics.
For its part, parliament immediately set to work and the Internal
Affairs Subcommittee headed by Mr Said Ilmi Roble began the process of
confirmation or rejection by examining the CV’s of the nominees,
collecting relevant information about them and interviewing them. The
full parliament is supposed to meet on Oct.24 to consider the issue.
Udub’s nominees:
1.Muhammad Ahmed Hirsi Geele.
2 Eng. Ise Yusuf Muhammad
3 Farah Abib Adan.
Upper House nominees:
1. Rabi Sharif Cabdi Muhammad
2. Abdirahman Muhammad Ismail
Kulmiye’s nominee:
1. Ali-Khadar Hasan Osman
UCID’s nominee:
1. Abdifatah Ibrahim Hassan
