Somaliland presidential election, 2009

Presidential elections will be held in Somaliland on 29 March 2009. [ [http://www.unpo.org/content/view/8395/142/ UNPO - Somaliland: Presidential Elections Date Confirmed ] ] They were originally scheduled for 31 August 2008, [ [http://www.mherrera.org/elections.htm Electoral Calendar- world elections,US elections,presidential election,world parties ] ] but the instability in the eastern Sanaag and Sool regions led the Guurti to extend the incumbent's term for a year in early April 2008, [ [http://www.unpo.org/content/view/8006/142/ UNPO - Somaliland: Presidential Term Extended to 2009 ] ] setting the election for 15 March 2009. [ [http://www.unpo.org/content/view/8169/142/ UNPO - Somaliland: Elections Slated for December 2008 ] ] This was heavily criticised by the opposition -- in the end, a compromise led to the date of 6 April 2009, [ [http://www.unpo.org/content/view/8275/142/ UNPO - Somaliland: Agreement Reached on Election date ] ] which was later changed to one week before that.
