MOGADISHU— Galmudug’s disputed electoral commission has announced that it will accept and comply with a ruling by the Supreme Court of Somalia annulling the results of the regional election.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the commission said it respected the court’s judgment and would take the necessary steps to ensure its full implementation.

The Supreme Court had earlier invalidated the election results and ordered a review of the electoral process. The ruling sparked renewed political debate and uncertainty over the future of elections in Galmudug.

The commission’s decision to comply with the judgment could pave the way for a renewed electoral process. Further details are expected regarding the implementation of the court’s ruling and the next steps to be taken by the commission and other political stakeholders.
