HARGEISA (SD) – Chairman of Halgan Political Association and prominent Somaliland politician, Ali Mohamed Yusuf (Ali Gurey), said that it is not possible to hold election in Somaliland without consensus, and a one-sided election cannot take place.

Politician Ali Gurey, told MMTV that the registered organizations will not be participating in the presidential election and they know this, adding until the Presidential Election is held, it will not be possible for political organizations to compete in an any election.

“Halgan will not participate in such an election, the results will be in blood soaked ballot boxes, our view is that we value Somaliland more than the presidency” said Chairman Ali Gurey.

The president of Somaliland insists to first register new and weaker parties ahead of the presidential election, a move the opposition parties and some new political associations vehemently oppose.

“I will not tell lies to people and say that President Muse Bihi will register new political associations prior to the presidential election.” Halgan Chairman said.

The opposition parties are currently organizing prodemocracy demonstrations against President Muse Bihi’s decision to dismiss the November 13,2022 presidential election.
