“On November 30, everyone living in Mogadishu should prepare to vote in the one-person, one-vote local council election, as population registration ended on September 30,” said the Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Abdikarin Ahmed Hassan.
The Chairman of the Commission also noted that nearly one million people have registered in the Banadir region, and that registration activities have now begun in the Lascaanood and Xudur districts of the SSC Khaatumo and Southwest Somalia administrations.

In Mogadishu, we have registered nearly one million people,” said the chairman of the electoral commission, Abdikarin Ahmed.
