Puntland’s new administration has promised to transform the state from from clan-based representation to directly-elected government.
The International Community together with donors are supporting the semi-autonomous region in implementing the system, which will pave way for one-man one vote elections.
Previous Puntland’s administration led by Ex-President Farole attempted to transform the state from the long clan-based system, but was forced to cancel the process amid criticism of controversial procedures.
