The President of the Federal Government of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has stated that the country is heading towards the implementation of direct elections based on the political party system, noting that he is ready for any necessary compromises to achieve a broad political consensus.
The President made these remarks during a dinner meeting with members of his party, while discussions are still ongoing regarding the type of election Somalia will adopt, as the Federal Government has previously expressed support for a one-person, one-vote electoral system based on political party competition.
On the other hand, the opposition has proposed that the country implement direct elections, but based on a process that reflects the 4.5 clan power-sharing system, in order to maintain the political balance among the Somali clans.
According to sources connected to the international community, there are efforts aimed at reaching an agreement between the Federal Government and the opposition on a direct electoral process, seeking a middle ground that can bring the views of both sides closer together, with ongoing discussions focusing on how to unify the principles of direct elections and the political guarantees demanded by various parties.
