Somalia’s presidential election, scheduled for Nov. 30, will be held at an unspecified later date, the chairman of the war-torn country’s electoral committee said.
The date will be announced after the committee meets with lawmakers, Omar Abdulle Dhegey told reporters Monday in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. Delegates representing the Horn of Africa nation’s clans are currently choosing the members of parliament, who in turn will select the president from more than 10 candidates, including incumbent Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud.
