Somalia, 25 November 2025 – The National Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (NIEBC) has extended the deadline for political parties to submit candidate lists for the Banaadir Regional Council elections, resulting in a new delay to the election schedule.
The new period for political parties to submit their lists runs from 26 November to 10 December 2025.
The decision issued by the Commission on Monday is in response to requests from some political parties for additional time.
“The Commission informs all political parties that final candidate lists must be submitted within the extended deadline,” the statement said.

Previously, the deadline for submitting candidate lists was set for 25 November.
This means that the elections, originally scheduled for 30 November, will face another delay.
The commission has yet to announce a new election date, leaving the election timeline uncertain.
