Somali Justice Minister Criticizes Opposition Over Election Stance
The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs in the Somali government, Hassan Moalim, accused opposition groups of obstructing the laws passed by the government and parliament, especially those related to the electoral process in the country. Minister Moalim stressed that no individual or military force has the right to obstruct the democratic process of electing representatives and holding elections on the basis of one person, one vote.“The idea of elections cannot be opposed because it comes at the right time,” the minister said, stressing the government’s commitment to ensuring free and fair elections. He also stressed the importance of maintaining an electoral environment where citizens can participate without fear or intimidation.
The Justice Minister noted that the government’s goal is to create a fair and inclusive process that allows all citizens to participate, a step that is crucial to strengthening democracy and governance in Somalia. The federal government’s electoral platform faces opposition from various quarters, who say that the security and political conditions in the country do not allow for popular elections.
