Somaliland’s 3 Main Parties Awarded Licences

The President of Somaliland has issued licenses to three official political parties.

This event represents a significant milestone in Somaliland’s political journey, showcasing its commitment to democracy and good governance.

The renewal of licenses for the three national political parties—WADDANI, KAAH, and KULMIYE—solidifies the foundation for political participation and competition for the next decade.

President Irro’s emphasis on broader democratic principles—justice, civil liberties, governance, and national unity—signals a vision for a more inclusive and resilient political landscape in Somaliland.

The involvement of the Committee for the Registration and Approval of Political Associations and Parties, along with the National Electoral Commission, underscores the importance of institutional collaboration in fostering transparency and stability.

This occasion also highlights Somaliland’s unique approach to democracy in the region, where regular political processes and stakeholder involvement have become a hallmark of its governance.

It reflects the administration’s intent to strengthen democratic norms and ensure a robust framework for political dialogue and elections in the years to come.
