Ali Jeyte Osman has been appointed the President of the newly established Hiiraan State.
Jeyte was sacked a few days ago from his station as the Governor of Hiiraan Region.
His sacking came as a huge shock to local residents.
Afterward, local leaders and politicians recommended the creation of Hiiraan State.
They advised the separation of Hiiraan from the regional state of HirShabelle.
The move enjoys constitutional backing.
As per the federal Constitution, two or more regions can join hands to be a federal member state.
