Farmajo urges regional state Presidents to remain neutral in the election

Presidential candidate Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo accused some of the country’s regional administrations presidents of not being neutral in the presidential elections that is set to take place in Mogadishu next week.

Farmajo said some of the regional states presidents are actively involved in President Hassan’s campaign to get re-elected.

“Regional states leaders should be neutral in the upcoming presidential election, and focus on addressing the pressing issues facing the regions they administer,” said Farmajo.

His remarks come a day president Hassan’s team hosted a dinner in support of his campaign, that was attended by some regional administrations leaders including Galmudug president Abdikarin Hussein Guled and HirShabelle Vice President Ali Gudlawe.
