Ahmed Abdidere said, “Every family and every person in Somaliland has the right to be elected President, and the current president was not voted for only by his own clan or family, but by universal suffrage across all communities”.
Hon. Ahmed also pointed out that President Muse Bihi has been elected for five years. He said that elders have said that they are mediating.

Kulmiye party is ready to sit with the Opposition parties, at a venue where Somaliland media is present and there will be two things to contend with: the Presidential Election and the new political organizations’ elections, as to which would precede.”
“We in the Kulmiye party are happily ready to sit down with the opposition parties and discuss the election processes. As for demonstrations and protests, you have to request permission, as per constitution hence without a permit they are illegal”, he underpinned
