Somalia Opposition Leaders Reiterate Calls for Suspension of Ongoing Parliamentary Polls

Opposition leaders in Somalia have reiterated their calls for the suspension of the ongoing parliamentary elections in the country.

On December 9, the Council of Presidential Candidates (CPC) issued a statement on this matter.

Thursday’s statement is the second one in a week.

In the views of the opposition leaders, Somalia’s parliamentary elections are fraught with fraud, lack of credibility, and unfairness.

Therefore, they have urged authorities to convene a consultative meeting to address the concerns raised on the elections.

They promised to boycott the results of the elections if their concerns aren’t addressed.
