Jubbaland SEIT Publishes Elections Schedule for 16 Remaining Lower House Seats

Jubbaland’s State Elections Implementation Team (SEIT) has published the election schedule for the 16 remaining House of the People (Lower House) elections.

The regional electoral body announced the schedule a few moments after it emerged that the elections would now take place in El-Wak rather than Garbaharey.

The Federal Elections Implementation Team (FEIT) moved the venue to El-Wak.

FEIT cited the growing insecurity in Garbaharey as one of the factors for changing the polling center.

Jubbaland’s SEIT published the schedule in a press release dated April 14.

The 16 seats are HOP#065, HOP#078, HOP#087, HOP#090, HOP#091, HOP#100, and HOP#102.

Others are HOP#110, HOP#116, HOP#117, HOP#119, HOP#122, HOP#123, HOP#125, HOP#131, and HOP#216.

As per SEIT’s press release, the entire exercise takes place from April 18-27.
