President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called on Somalis to place their trust in his administration and give it the opportunity to implement the national priorities effectively.
Addressing recent opposition criticism, he urged the public to avoid fueling fear and uncertainty about the country’s political trajectory.
The federal government’s push for direct elections has faced backlash from opposition groups, who have labeled the move as “autocratic and fake.”
President Mohamud, however, defended the initiative as a critical step towards strengthening democracy and ensuring inclusive political participation.
His appeal highlights the administration’s commitment to fostering stability and implementing reforms amid ongoing political tensions.
