Controversy and dispute among the Somali leaders both in the Federal and State level have been said to have contributed to the yet to be concluded elections which at times threatened to our the country into quagmire.
The international community have been resoundingly calling on Somali leaders to adgerevti the set deadline and complete elections on time so as to take the country out of the electioneering mood.
