The Federal Electoral Commission (FEC) has been embroiled in controversy over the release of the Somali Parliamentary election results, which were announced yesterday, according to a statement from the commission.
Said Abshir, a member of the committee, explained the reasons for the dispute and his reasons for opposing the procedure.
The reason, Said said, is that it is not yet time to announce the process, as some administrations have not yet completed the Upper House elections.
"We have not objected to the process but it is not time to announce it. We are an independent election commission. What we are working on is not a written law or an approved election law," he said. Said Abshir.
He also expressed surprise at the announcement of the election process, which he said was timed to take place at a time when some members of the commission were away from regional administrations.
"The top members of the FEIT have gone to the states to monitor the BFS Upper House Senatorship.
Meanwhile, FEIT's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Abdi Hiis, opposed the move, sending a letter of complaint to the country's National Consultative Assembly.
Abdi Hiis also warned of further problems with the process announced by the Federal Electoral Commission yesterday.
This could lead to poor co-operation between the members of the Federal Electoral Commission and the difficult task of holding the 2021 elections.
