The Somali people and the Council of Candidates Union, congratulate Senator Abdi Hashi Abdullahi on his election as Speaker of the 11th Upper House of the Federal Parliament 2022-2026.
Senator Abdi Hashi was at the forefront of the struggle against the illegal extension and political turmoil led by dictator Farmajo.
Abdi Hashi's victory means a victory for the Somali people with a neutral parliament far from the hands of Farmajo and Fahad Yasin who have been disrupting the country.
Today we are waiting for Sheikh Adan Madobe to win the post of Speaker of Parliament, to complete the victory.
