PUNTLAND HAS RUN OUT OF EXCUSES IN GENERAL ELECTION DEALYS

The notion that general elections in Somalia are difficult to conduct is falsehood and fallacy, as it is consistent neither with history nor reality. Several general elections and national constitutional referendum were held decades ago here, without even voter registration, with the full participation of the nomadic population in remote parts of the country with more difficult conditions and less means or communication.

Today the entire population of Puntland as well as other other portions of the Somalis elsewhere in the country are registered on their mobile phone acquisition, even nomads.

Resistance to conduct a general election is simply political and self-preservation by self-serving system to avoid accountability on poor leadership performance and fear of fair political competition.

Somali leaders both national and local levels, want to use corrupt tools to gain power or stay in power.

Puntland is one of the most suitable locations in Somalia to conduct a free and fair election.

Once that done in Puntland, domino reaction in other parts of Somalia shall ocur immediately. Puntland State had run out of any further excuses to delay people’s wishes to a general suffrage.
