A crushing defeat for Farmajo's supporters in the Senate elections

Farmajo

 Somali Information Minister Osman Mahmud Doub won the Senate elections for the seat he contested today, after hours of fierce battle.


Othman Abu Bakr Doub defeated Abdel-Qurain Mohamed Hassan, who received 28 votes, while Abdel-Qurain Mohamed Hassan received 17 votes.


The Somali presidency is locked in a fierce battle in the last hours to ensure Dob loses in the Senate elections, after the two sides are politically divided.


Doub, who was once a close friend of Farmajo and insulted governments, including Djibouti, Somali people, politicians and mothers, in recent weeks released and arrested Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Robley, Farmajo's opponent.


The United Nations envoy to Somalia, James Swan, has called on regional governments to complete the process of filling the remaining seats in the Senate as soon as possible.


Speaking to the media in Avicio camp yesterday, during the Northern Senators elections, the MP said that the second phase of the national elections is necessary.


"We call on federal member states, which have not yet completed their Senate elections, to complete them as soon as possible," James Swann said.


James Swan said: “It is important that the Federal and State Election Implementation Committees now focus on the second phase of the federal election, and that preparations for Parliamentary elections begin, in a timely manner and in accordance with the May 27 agreement. Complete the national elections and be credible.”
