It is finally D-Day in Somaliland as voters go to the polls to elect their President and Members of Parliament for the next five years.
More than one million registered voters are casting their ballots today to elect a president for the next five-year term.
The election features three main candidates: the incumbent President Muse Bihi Abdi, opposition leader Abdirahman Abdilahi Irro, and Faysal Ali Warabe.
As earlier promised by the police chief and National Elections Commission (NEC), polling stations across major cities are under tight security to ensure a smooth voting process.
This election marks a significant democratic event in Somaliland, drawing attention from both regional observers and the international community.
November 13 is historic as it represents the first time voters in Somaliland elect their President and legislators on the same day.
