Speaker of the Upper House Abdi Hashi Abdullahi has warned that Mahdi Guled's faction in the northern regions of Somaliland will hold elections, as it has a majority in the commission.
Abdi Hashi said that if Mahdi Guled's faction took such a step, they would hold elections, noting that the opposition faction of the Northern Regions Electoral Commission had ignored efforts to get a united front to elect a leader.
"You are the ones who have the right to vote and produce their members of parliament, and if that happens then prepare to hold elections," said Speaker Abdi Hashi.
"It is said that we will hold an election and the committee you were told to make it 7 there (Mahdi Guled and the government) and 4 here, they are saying it is the majority and they are going on, so you are the ones who have the right to vote. ”
Disputes over the Northern Electoral Commission have so far not been resolved, with meetings between the two sides failing to reunite the split commission, which has two separate committees.
Chairman Abdi Hashi's faction consists of four members, while Mahdi Guled's faction consists of four members, in addition to three other members of the government, who were appointed by Prime Minister Roble.
