Politicians have allowed ongoing quarrels over the centralisation of power to put a hold on democracy.
It wasnât even going to be a real one-person, one-vote election. That had been the original plan but had proved too ambitious. So Somalia reverted to its previous practice â an indirect election where powerful clan elders would elect delegates who would elect legislators who would elect the national president.
But even that relatively modest ambition proved too much for the Somali politicians to implement, and so no election was held this week on the appointed date of 8 February. A country already battling to navigate stormy seas then entered even less charted waters. This was the first time elections had been delayed beyond the expiration of the governmentâs mandate â without an agreed plan on the way forward.

UN demands goodwill to solve electoral crisis in Somalia
11 de febrero de 2021, 12:35United Nations, Feb 11 (Prensa Latina) The United Nations asked for goodwill at the next meeting on the political crisis in Somalia, and praised the call made by President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, local media reported on Thursday. With this possible meeting between the central authority and heads of regions, the president hopes that an agreement is reached to hold parliamentary and presidential elections, in order to unblock the stagnation of the institutional process that affects the country. We applaud the announcement of another summit between the federal government and the state leaders on February 15 and the commitment to continue the dialogue, said UN Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, who noted the need for a negotiated solution.
