In a statement on Twitter, Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble’s office revealed the calendar for indirect parliamentary and Presidential elections, claiming that stakeholders agreed to a voting map following two days of meetings in Mogadishu Capital.

“I commend the leaders of the council and hope the election is going to be a peaceful and transparent one, supporting the agreed-upon schedule and processes,” the prime minister said.
