Somalia reached a pivotal milestone as its 11th parliament was sworn in on April 14, with 255 members taking their oath in Mogadishu. This development signifies a major step forward in the protracted electoral process, paving the way for speaker elections later in April and a potential presidential election in early May. Yet, the road ahead remains turbulent. Twenty seats are still under dispute, including 16 in Gedo, where elections are now planned for Elwaq instead of Garbahaarey, frustrating the Farmaajo camp. Fahad Yasin, a key figure in Somalia’s intelligence apparatus, is contesting legal challenges to his parliamentary bid, and the Supreme Court is now involved. Parliament's first session was marred by disruption, led by NISA-linked MPs mobilized by Fahad’s ally, Abdullahi Kulane ‘Jiis’. Their protests reflect mounting anxiety as opposition groups push to conclude the election before disputed seats are resolved.
