Political Stakeholders Emphasise Importance of Constitutional Adherence

Political stakeholders in Somalia have emphasised the importance of strict adherence to constitutional principles as governance and reform processes continue.

In recent discussions, political leaders and legal experts highlighted the Constitution as the primary framework guiding power sharing, institutional roles, and political decision making. They noted that respect for constitutional provisions is essential to maintaining legitimacy and political stability.

Some stakeholders expressed concern that selective interpretation of constitutional clauses has contributed to recurring political disputes. They stressed that consistent application of constitutional processes would help reduce tensions between federal and regional institutions.

Legal analysts observed that constitutional adherence also strengthens public confidence in governance systems. When political decisions are anchored in clear legal frameworks, citizens are more likely to view institutions as credible and accountable.

Civil society organisations have called for broader civic education on constitutional matters, arguing that informed public engagement can reinforce respect for constitutional order.

Observers conclude that reinforcing constitutional norms remains central to Somalia’s state building efforts and long term political stability.
