Somalia’s Council of Cabinet has approved the Elections and Political Parties Act.
This represents a significant step towards establishing a legal framework for future elections in the country.
The Elections and Political Parties Act is expected to provide guidelines on how political parties should be formed.
It stipulates how the parties will be regulated and operate.
The act outlines the procedures for conducting elections in the country too.
The approval by cabinet is part of Somalia’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its democratic institutions and ensure more transparent and accountable governance.
Ministers approved the act during their weekly meeting held on Thursday under the leadership of Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre.
