Mogadishu, Somalia – The Opposition Grand Alliance summit entered its second day today in Mogadishu, intensifying preparations for a united political front ahead of the 2026 presidential elections.
Behind closed doors, alliance leaders hosted a strategic session with directors of independent media outlets to coordinate messaging and expand public engagement. The move highlights the bloc’s intent to shape the national discourse as it positions itself to challenge President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in May 2026.
The summit is expected to culminate on Friday with a joint communique outlining the alliance’s electoral roadmap, policy priorities, and mechanisms for internal unity. The gathering marks the most coordinated effort by Somalia’s opposition since the last national election.
