After several delays, a date has finally been set for a presidential election in #Somalia. MPs from the country's upper and lower houses of parliament will choose the next president on 15 May. #SomaliaElections2022

President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo is seeking a second term but faces stiff competition from several candidates including two former presidents. The election was postponed by more than a year because of a power struggle between Mr. #Farmajo and the Prime Minister, #MohamedHussein Roble.

The timing of the vote ensures Somalia does not miss out on a $400m (£320m) financial package from the #IMF which is set to expire unless a new administration is in place by 17 May.
