Dhuusamareeb (WDN) — Galmudug’s repeat election is facing a serious political test after the Towfiiq Political Association, led by Sheikh Shakir Sheikh Mohamed, was excluded from the list of political organizations approved to participate in the vote scheduled for September 30.
The decision is particularly significant because Towfiiq was a major participant in the previous election, winning 12 parliamentary seats before the results were annulled following a legal challenge that reached Somalia’s Supreme Court.
Its exclusion from the rerun immediately raises a difficult question: why is a party that played such a significant role in the original election now absent from the process intended to replace it? The National Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has not publicly provided a detailed explanation for the decision.
Towfiiq is not a marginal political organization in Galmudug. It has established a significant political presence, particularly in Dhuusamareeb and Guriceel, where the party and its leadership have maintained substantial political and community support. Its previous electoral performance demonstrated that this support could translate into parliamentary representation.
