The Independent Civil Society Organizations Coalition (ISCO) has said that it supports holding of elections in 2020.
ISCO Somaliland said this while welcoming the news that the House of Representatives had approved two new members to join the National Electoral Commission.
The organization says the government of Somaliland has lifted all COVID-19 restrictions previously imposed around the country.
ISCO Somaliland affirmed that COVID-19 had ravaged the country thus making it harder for the electoral body to prepare adequately for polls.
However, it now says that all stakeholders should work together “effectively and fast” to resume preparations for the upcoming polls.
ISCO says it sees no need for postponing elections to 2021 since elections for parliamentary and local council seats are long overdue.
