Somalia to hold elections next year
The Somali government announced plans to hold parliamentary and presidential elections next year, despite ongoing political divisions and the persistent insurgency by Al-Shabaab, which controls parts of the country. The parliamentary elections are scheduled for April 15, 2027, followed by the presidential elections on May 15, according to a law that establishes a five-year presidential term starting after swearing-in. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud assumed the presidency in 2022 and confirms that he was granted an additional year following a constitutional amendment approved despite opposition from opposition parties and their rejection of the amendments.
