Puntland President Saeed Abdullahi Deni expressed his strong support for Jubaland\u2019s decision to conduct independent elections without interference from Somalia\u2019s Federal Government. Speaking at the Puntland Parliament in Garowe, Deni affirmed that his administration stands as a \u201csupport and shield\u201d for Jubaland President Ahmed Madobe and his commitment to hold lawful elections in Jubaland, stressing the importance of respecting the autonomy of Somali regional states.<\/p>\n
President Deni emphasized that the Federal Government lacks constitutional authority to interfere with member states’ elections, asserting that such interference contravenes the federal framework. He also accused Somalia\u2019s federal leadership of seeking unconstitutional term extensions for regional states\u2014a move he labeled as a strategy to consolidate control over the election process by delaying regional votes.<\/p>\n
This address comes as tensions between Somali federal authorities and regional administrations continue to grow. Deni notably criticized the National Consultative Council’s ongoing discussions, describing them as \u201cout of touch\u201d with the interests of the Somali people. The council, convened to address Somalia\u2019s electoral process and security issues, has seen limited regional support, with Jubaland\u2019s President Madobe notably walking out of recent talks in Mogadishu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
