Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble has welcomed the election of Khadar Hussein as the new Chairperson of the Somaliland State Indirect Elections Team (SIET).
Members of SIET elected Hussein Chairman on August 7.
He received all the seven votes of the SIET members belonging to Deputy Prime Minister Mahdi Gulaid’s faction.
None of the members from the side that supports Upper House Speaker Abdi Hashi were at the meeting.
Shortly after the elections, the Office of the Prime Minister released a statement commending the elected board members of SIET for electing Hussein.
In his statement, Prime Minister Roble also indicated that he would not give up his quest to reconcile Somaliland politicians.
Lately, Speaker Hashi and Deputy Prime Minister Gulaid don’t see eye-to-eye, especially on the election of the Somaliland SIET Chairman.
