The commission, meanwhile, is still awaiting some ballot boxes from other polling stations, before releasing the full official results.
In the election, 37,578 registered voters cast their ballots at 54 polling stations.
However, Puntland State, which was established on August 1, 1998, has tried several times in the past to hold elections but failed, and is now testing local elections in Qardho, Eyl and Ufeyn districts all under its full control.
