(24-12-23) GAROWE (Halqabsi News) — The Puntland Opposition Candidates’ umbrella group is nearing a consensus on the structure of the 2024 elections and their response to the SSC-Khatumo decision, sources report. Preliminary information indicates a majority of the opposition members support the proposal to include 49 Members of Parliament in the 2024 Puntland elections. This move is seen as an acknowledgement of the SSC’s decision, marking a significant shift in the region’s political landscape.
The group, after concluding their meeting, is expected to formally announce the inclusion of the 49 MPs, a decision that notably excludes members from the SSC-Khatumo from the market list. This anticipated announcement could have far-reaching implications for the political dynamics in Puntland.
Meanwhile, the government under President Saeed Deni has not yet publicly responded to the SSC’s declaration, which opposes participation in the Puntland elections. This silence from the government adds a level of uncertainty to the evolving political scenario. The outcome of the opposition group’s meeting and the government’s subsequent response are expected to significantly influence the approach to the 2024 elections, shaping the political future of Puntland profoundly.
