In a significant political development, Somaliland’s Vice President has endorsed opposition presidential candidate Abdirahman Irro, dealing a setback to incumbent President Muse Bihi Abdi’s re-election campaign.
This endorsement is expected to influence the upcoming presidential election scheduled for November 13, 2024.
Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro, leader of the Waddani party, has been actively campaigning across Somaliland, emphasizing economic reform and youth empowerment.
His campaign has gained momentum, with thousands attending rallies nationwide.
The Vice President’s support for Irro underscores growing dissatisfaction within the current administration and may sway undecided voters.
Political analysts suggest this move could reshape the electoral landscape, potentially leading to a more competitive race.
As the election approaches, all eyes are on how this endorsement will impact voter sentiment and the strategies of both the ruling and opposition parties.
The political dynamics in Somaliland are rapidly evolving, making this election one of the most closely watched in the region’s history.
