On Thursday, December 23, 2025, residents of Mogadishu cast ballots in municipal elections, marking a major step for Somalia.
These votes are the first step toward restoring universal suffrage and paving the way for the country's first direct national polls in over half a century. 🎉
The municipal elections reflect growing momentum for direct democratic participation.
Once results are tallied, attention will shift to national elections, a process not seen in over fifty years. 🌍✊
