The Chairman of the UCID political party Mr. Feisal Ali Hussein has accused Somaliland Senate, the GUURTI, of excessively trampling upon the constitution of the country and operating in illegal manner by flouting basic regulations.
He at the same time charged that the ruling party KULMIYE administration has flagrantly mal-administered the nation during its stint at the helm by destroying the national stature of the country and polarizing the populaces in collusion with WADDANI party.
The Justice and Welfare (UCID) chairman who is trying his hand in winning the presidential elections and vying for the fourth time made the sentiments in a large gathering at the city’s Freedom Gardens on Wednesday as his party was campaigning.
Using strong terms to chide the Senate, and both political parties, Feisal promised the audience that he would turn things around for the people if he is elected.
He charged that the GUURTI always extended their terms, made the seats hierarchy instead of being subjected to elections, had members younger than the mandated age and claimed that even some mentally handicapped are in the senate.
The ongoing campaigns are for the elections scheduled to be held on the 13th of November 2024 hence are for both the presidency and the political parties to be held simultaneously on the same day.
Regulations demand that there should always be three political parties with tenure of ten years hence the top three are thus the winners.
Seven political organizations are in the fray focused on unseating the present official political parties of KULMIYE, WADDANI and UCID. Elections regulations provide that each and every political party or organization solely hold their campaigns country-wide every single day in adherence to a scheduled timetable.
Somaliland’s election campaign entered its fifth day yesterday, and the UCID party showed its support.
He pledged to provide better living standards, free education and health system, better infrastructure and create abundant jobs.
Speakers in all arenas and venues that saw the party supporters converge echoed similar sentiments of profound and elaborate promises and pledges of good tidings if they become triumphant in the elections.
The UCID party had its field day soliciting for votes in the city of Hargeisa, Marodi-jeeh, Gebiley and Togdeer regions with thousands of supporters carrying their party flags, singing its songs and chanting slogans in support for both its presidential candidate and the party it-self.
