Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire has publicly criticized the federal parliament’s recent approval of the establishment law for the Independent Electoral Commission.
In a strongly worded statement, Khaire described the move as an “illegal step” that undermines national stability.
He warned that the actions of both the government and parliament could provoke political conflicts, accusing them of being driven by “greed and selfish interests.”
Khaire’s remarks highlight ongoing tensions in Somalia’s political landscape, where disputes over electoral processes and governance structures frequently arise.
His concerns suggest a potential escalation of divisions as the nation navigates its path toward democratic reforms and institutional development.
