The President of Somalia’s Puntland State, Said Abdullahi Deni, is set to participate in the upcoming session of the National Consultative Council (NCC) meeting scheduled for Monday, May 5th, according to credible sources.
His attendance marks a significant political development, especially given the recent strains between Puntland and the Federal Government of Somalia over constitutional and federalism-related matters.
Deni’s expected participation signals a potential thaw in relations and may pave the way for renewed dialogue on key national issues, including power-sharing, security coordination, resource distribution, and the ongoing federalization process.
The NCC, which brings together federal and state leaders, is a critical platform for shaping Somalia’s political future, particularly as the country continues to pursue stability and institutional reform.
Observers will be watching closely to see what commitments emerge from the meeting and whether Puntland’s re-engagement could lead to more cohesive national policymaking going forward.
