Puntland None State Actors Association (PUNSAA) expresses its appreciation for the unwavering commitment displayed by the elders and intellectuals Puntland particularly in Nugaal region who have made remarkable efforts to ensure that inclusive elections occur in Puntland. We commend their dedication and perseverance.
We commend the significant percentage of the population reaching 93.4% who have obtained their voter registration cards, We wholeheartedly encourage and motivate them to actively participate in the upcoming elections ensuring a high turnout across all 30 districts scheduled for May 25, 2023.
Regrettably, we acknowledge the unfortunate circumstances that prevented the elections in the districts of Garowe, Dangorayo, and Godobjiran to be delayed. We highly encourage the Voters, the Government, Security agencies, and Political Association to work on intensifying security and election transparency.
To ensure transparency and address any concerns, PUNSAA has established the Electon Situation Room (ESR) which will diligently collect election data and handle voter complaints.
During this critical period of elections, we urge the Transitional Puntland Electoral Commission (TPEC) to maintain impartiality and refrain from interfering with the competing political associations and to ensure the independence and integrity of the electoral process.
