Somalia lawmakers vote to extend presidential term for up to two years

THE STANDARD AFRICA Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed whose term was extended by MPs yesterday. [File, Standard] Somalia’s lower house of parliament yesterday voted to extend the president’s term for another two years to let the country prepare for direct elections, the speaker of the chamber said. Mohamed Mursal Sheikh said 149 lawmakers voted for the proposal, one rejected it and three abstained. The move underscores widening divisions after extending the four-year term of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, who faces growing pressure to quit after his term ended. It was unclear if the motion still had to pass the senate. Senator Ayub Ismail Yusuf told Reuters the lower house had the authority to decide on elections but Senator Ilyas Ali Hassan from the opposition disagreed.
