An elder says “no-confidence vote” could further destabilize Galmudug

Mohamed Hassan Haad, a well known traditional has warned the MPs that a no-confidence motion passed on Monday could further destabilize the region amid ongoing fighting and tensions.

The elder said MPs in Adado was politically motivated by individuals who are the enemies of  Galmudug State.

He said the move could lead political crises in Galmudug.

Hassan said it is sad to see a handful MPs destroying Galmudug government with their own hands.

The elder condemned the move by the parliament ouster the president, citing that the move could not be excepted as it is against the constitution of Galmudug state.

“As traditional elders, we do not recognize the impeachment over motion passed by the parliament,” said Hassan.

Meanwhile the the regional leader, Abdikarin Hussein Hussein Guuled criticised the motion saying the normal sessions of the parliament remained closed and the MPs are still on their vocation.

“Several MPs who held a secret meeting at a cafe in Adado could not vote me out of the power, as the parliament sessions are not yet opened officially,” Mr Guled said at the press conference.

On Tuesday, 54 parliamentarians have voted for the impeachment motion against Guled, during a show of hands ballot.

The Assembly accused Guled of incompetence and frequent absence from the region.
