The regional state of Galmudug has received tons of electoral equipment ahead of the parliamentary polls expected to take place this week.
Elections for House of the People (Lower House) seats are scheduled for this week around the country.
Galmudug, which concluded its polls for the Upper House (Senate) seats last week on Saturday, should be among the first to hold Lower House elections.
Somaliland has already elected two Members of Parliament (MPs).
Mohamed Dahir, the Chairman of the Galmudug electoral body, announced that Lower House polls in the region will kick off in Dhusamareb.
He expressed gratitude to the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and the Galmudug administration for ensuring that the materials arrive on time for the polls.
