Politicians file case against Puntland State on disputed issues

Garowe(Mogadishu24)-The Puntland Politicians Forum has on Thursday filed a case at the Puntland State Constitutional Court, citing concerns over President Said Abdullahi Deni's proposed electoral system that appears to favor him and his party in the upcoming elections. Moreover, the President exerted pressure on the parliament to swiftly approve this proposal, resulting in unrest, turmoil, and heightened tensions within Garowe.

Guled Salah, former Chairman of Puntland Elections Commission, confirmed their move and accused the Puntland State Administration of prioritizing its own interests.

"Today, a group of approximately 30 Puntland politicians, including myself, have formally filed a case with the Constitutional Court. Our case challenges the actions of the State Administration, which we believe are in violation of the constitution and established policies of our nation. We have made the decision to pursue the appropriate legal procedures in order to address these concerns," explained Guled Salah, former Chairman of the Puntland Elections Commission.

He added: "The entire Puntland Administration seems to be prioritizing self-interests over the welfare of the people. It is imperative that the president promptly takes charge and restores order before the situation escalates further."

Guled also advised the president to take immediate action to prevent the government from slipping out of his control, urging him to reconsider his decisions and reassess the situation.
