Somaliland Presidential Election Debate

Inspire Group (IG) is organizing and hosting the first ever Somaliland Presidential Election Debate (SPED). The Debate is a platform that will provide the best possible information to voters - hopefully enabling them to better evaluate the standing candidates of Somaliland’s Presidential elections scheduled on 13th November 2017.

The debate will be seen, both domestically and internationally, as a significant milestone for a healthy and mature democracy in Somaliland. People often view debates as an indication of an open, transparent election process where all candidates can present their policies and plans for the country. Voters are also able to see issues they are concerned about addressed by candidates during debates and hold them to account for past actions. These factors can contribute to the overall legitimacy of the election process and its credibility.

The first presidential debate will take place October 18, 2017, at Mansoor Hall, Hargeisa, Somaliland. The format for the 135-minute debate is as follows: · The debate will focus on three parts domestic policy, socioeconomic policy and foreign policy, each part will be divided into six-time segments of approximately 7.5 minutes each on topics. The moderator will open each segment with one question and panelists will add up two follow-up questions, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond.

The moderator will use the balance of the time (45 MINUTES) in each topic. The Debate will run from 7:00-10:30 p.m. In East Africa Time. The moderator will have the ability both to extend the segments and to ensure that the candidates have equal speaking time. While the focus will properly be on the candidates, the moderator will regulate the conversation so that thoughtful and substantive exchanges occur.

All three official presidential candidates certified and authorized by the Somaliland National Election Commision will participate the Debate.  The three candidates are Faisal Ali Waraabe from Justice and Welfare party, (UCID), Muse Bihi Abdi from The Peace, Unity and Development Party (Kulmiye) and Abdirahman M. Abdulahi Cirro from Somaliland National Party (Waddani)


Candidate Faisal Ali Waraabe , speaking during the candidate authorizing event said, “It’s a great honour for me to be awarded this certificate for the third time, I would like to urge fellow citizens to elect whoever they deem fit to hold office .

Candidate Muse Bihi Abdi addressing same event said, “We, the three contenders should understand that, only one contenders shall emerge the winners after the upcoming elections so I urge my fellow contenders to support whoever wins. He further added that the electorate should conduct its self in good manners during both the campaign and elections period.

Candidate Abdurrahman Mohamed Abdullah “Cirro” speaking during the events stated that his party would accept the results once declared but I would also like to urge the Somaliland national electoral commission to conduct the elections process in a fair and free manner.
