Residents of the three districts cast their ballots to elect local councils from eight political parties in Puntland.

“It is a historic, exemplary and important step in the process of democratization and decentralization in our country. I hope the election ends peacefully and transparently. “

Government officials and opposition politicians have supported the Puntland administration in holding preliminary local council elections, which began in three Puntland districts.

Puntland, which was established on August 1, 1998, has tried several times to hold elections, but failed, and will from now be renown for setting up local elections in the administration’s districts of Qardho, Eyl and Ufeyn.
