The WADDANI political party has shown its biggest prowess yet in amassing supporters as it held its political rallies on Friday across the country on Friday, the closing day of its political rallies.
Led by the presidential candidate of the party Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro, unprecedented numbers of crowds amassed in all the major towns of the regions and districts across the country in spirited efforts urging the voters for support.
Abdirahman Irro who was flanked by his running mate Prof. Ali Mohamed and party chair Hirsi Ali Hassan addressed a massive crowd who thronged the city’s central public square in Burao hitherto unseen before flying to the easternmost parts of the country to speak to the residents in Erigavo.
Party stalwarts made similar appearances for WADDANI in Hargeisa, Berbera, Sheikh, Gebilay, Borama and Balli-gubadley all the surrounding satellite towns in the districts and divisions to location levels.
Their words of encouragement and advice on having a strong showing echoed across the board, urging the populaces to come out in large numbers and vote on their platform of “coalition for change”.
Speakers after speakers in different towns and centers urged for responsibility and calmness to prevail in order to maintain peaceful stability such that successful and incident-free elections exercises may be held country-wide.
As per, the nation’s constitution, the political party elections are held such that top three leaders in the polls become the official political parties for a term of ten years; a mandate that makes them the only official political institutions to operate.
This time round the existing political parties of WADDANI, KULMIYE and UCID have seven other political organizations pitted against them in the race, with KAAH, HILAAC and HORSEED showing spirited efforts.
Likewise, as for the campaigns, each political party or organization has a sole day catered for them to do the campaign rallies all across the country without the interference of any other.
Two days remain for the official campaigns period to halt, with both KULMIYE and UCID to have their last field days on Saturday the 9th and the Sunday 10th , respectively; the nation goes to the polls on Wednesday the 13th of Wednesday 2024.
