Federal security forces have traveled to Beledweyne in HirShabelle ahead of the scheduled arrival of a former Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA).
The plane carrying the forces landed at Beledweyne’s Ugas Khalif Airport on Friday, February 18.
Fahad Yasin, the immediate former Director of NISA, will arrive in Beledweyne on Saturday to receive his certificate of candidacy.
Yasin currently serves as the National Security Advisor of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.
He has already declared his candidacy for a House of the People (Lower House) seat in the region.
Several members of the Federal Elections Implementation Team (FEIT) are feuding over his candidature.
