Officials of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) of the Republic of Somaliland led by Chairman Mr. Musa Hassan Yusuf, visited over the week H.E. President Musa Bihi Abdi at the Presidency, and also visited the newly elected President Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro at his home.

The National Electoral Commission of Somaliland and the president-elect exchanged views on the important work of the recent presidential elections held on November 13 in the country, which they conducted in a transparent, free and fair manner.

The members of the National Electoral Commission wished the president-elect and his deputy well in their endeavours and onerous duties bestowed upon them through the people’s mandate and prayed for them.

Prior to meeting him they had paid a courtesy call to the outgoing head of state H.E. Musa Bihi Abdi and later on they made a similar visit to four-times presidential contender Feisal Ali Hussein.

The President-elect commended them for implementing elections in the country that brought prestige and honor to the Republic of Somaliland.

The President-elect was flanked by the two Waddani Party officials responsible for working with the National Electoral Commission, namely the Secretary-General of the Waddani Party, Khadar Hussein, and veteran politician Ismail Adan Osman.
