President Ahmed Islam Madobe of Jubbaland has promised “free and fair elections” for the remaining House of the People (Lower House) seats in Jubbaland.
Madobe said this during an interview with the media on April 11.
Jubbaland has not concluded elections for its Lower House seats.
Gedo remains with 16 seats. The regional State Elections Implementation Team (SEIT) had settled on a date for the polls.
Reports indicate that the 16 seats are yet to take place because of misunderstandings between Madobe and his deputy.
President Madobe has also asked diplomatic missions in Somalia to observe the elections.
