Galmudug Presidential Candidate Liiban Ahmed Hassan Helps Resolve South West Election Dispute
GOOBJOOG NEWS|BAIDOA: Political tensions surrounding the electoral process in South West State appear to have eased significantly following a series of consultations and reconciliation efforts involving political leaders and community elders.
Reports from Baidoa indicate that presidential candidates who had previously expressed concerns about the election process have returned to the electoral race after discussions led to an agreement on disputed issues, particularly those relating to ballot papers and voting procedures.
Sources familiar with the talks say that Liiban Ahmed Hassan, a candidate in the upcoming Galmudug presidential election, played a key role in facilitating consultations among candidates and other political stakeholders during his stay in Baidoa.
According to the sources, Liiban held a series of meetings and discussions that contributed to reducing tensions and encouraging the parties to return to dialogue.
The consultations reportedly helped bring together prominent political figures, including Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden and Abdiaziz Mohamed Jawari, both of whom are contesting the South West State presidential election scheduled for June 10.
Their renewed engagement is said to have helped create conditions for consensus-building and a smoother electoral process ahead of the vote.
Political observers note that this is not the first time Liiban Ahmed Hassan has been credited with supporting dialogue and efforts aimed at bridging differences between political actors.
In recent years, he has become associated with an approach that emphasizes negotiation, compromise, and the pursuit of peaceful solutions to political disputes.
