MOGADISHU (SD) — The Tawfik Political Organization, led by Sheikh Shakir Sheikh Mohamed, has been excluded from the Galmudug repeat election scheduled for September 30, raising fresh questions about the inclusiveness and political credibility of the rerun.
The National Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (NIEBC) has released the list of political organizations cleared to participate in the repeat election, with Tawfik notably absent. The party had participated in the July 30 election, whose results were later annulled by Somalia’s Supreme Court following legal challenges over alleged irregularities and violations of electoral procedures.
Tawfik had emerged as one of the strongest political forces in the original election. Official results gave the party 12 seats in the Galmudug regional parliament, placing it second behind the Justice and Solidarity Party (JSP), which won 63 seats. Tawfik also secured 49 local council seats.
The party subsequently rejected the results, alleging irregularities, violence and the exclusion of some of its representatives from polling stations. Sheikh Shakir said the party would not accept the announced outcome and called for an independent review of the vote.
