A former senior officer with the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) has won a parliamentary seat in Galmudug.
Abdullahi Adan Kullane won the seat during elections that took place in Dhusamareb.
Several stakeholders and political observers in the country believe that Kullane is one of outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo’s closest allies.
Last week, reports regarding a conflict between Kullane and Abdirahman Abdishakur, the leader of Wadajir Party, emerged.
Kullane and Abdishakur were both interested in the political seat that the former won.
