The regional state of Galmudug has extended President Ahmed Abdi Karie Qoorqoor’s term by one more year.
Galmudug parliamentarians voted to extend Qoorqoor’s term on Tuesday, September 13.
Qoorqoor’s term extension is the latest by regional member states.
Southwest and Jubbaland states have already voted to extend their respective leaders’ terms in office by one year each.
Today, the Galmudug parliament amended the state constitution that limits the presidential term to four years.
Forthwith, the term will not end at five years.
