Newly elected councilors from Eyl, Ufeyn, and Qardho visited President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland at the Presidential Palace.
The councilors were the first lot to be elected in the one-person-one-vote (1P1V) that Puntland conducted a few months ago.
They toured the Presidential Palace and got a chance to meet and discuss a few issues with President Deni on Saturday, September 17.
The new councilors also met with a few members of President Deni’s administration.
These included Abdifatah Mohamed Abdinur and Abdiweli Mire Hirsi.
Abdinur had just taken his oath of office a few moments earlier before the councilors from the three districts arrived.
He is the new Minister of State for the Presidency while Hirsi serves as the Deputy Minister of Interior in Deni’s government.
Other officers from the president’s office were present too.
