Somaliland Chooses Historic Day For Presidential Election

Hargeysa, Somaliland, May 15, 2010 (SL Times) – The spokesman of Somaliland Election Commission Mr Ahmed Muhammad Hirsi Geele announced on Wednesday that Somaliland’s presidential election will be held on June 26, 2010.
Ahmed Muhammad Hirsi Geele said that the election commission had met with President Dahir Rayale Kahin and submitted to him a letter signed by the seven election commission members that set the date of the election and the President accepted the date.
Mr. Geele added that now they are expecting the president to issue a government directive that confirms the election date.
