The USPC group had two members among the observers. Here's the official report from the EOM:


"International observers of presidential election on 13 November 2017
congratulate
Somalilanders as Supreme Court announces final results
29 November 2017
Somaliland’s Supreme Court yesterday upheld the preliminary results of the presidential election,
originally released by the National Electoral Commission on 21 November. That decision confirms
Mr Muse Bihi Abdi, leader of Kulmiye Party, as the president-elect. The international election
observation mission (EOM) congratulates all Somalilanders, including Mr Bihi and the other
candidates, on the conclusion of the electoral process.

Says Dr Michael Walls, chief observer of the EOM:
“We congratulate the new president, and are pleased that, after some post-poll tensions, political
parties have followed legal channels in confirming the election result, which has now been
accepted by all candidates. We applaud political leaders on all sides for their public statements
stressing the importance of the gains made by Somaliland to date. Somalilanders have once again
shown their strong commitment to peaceful electoral democracy and we look forward to a
continuation of that process as we now look toward the much-delayed parliamentary elections,
scheduled to be held in tandem with local council polls in 2019
.”
The EOM, which was funded by the British government and included 60 observers from 27
countries, observed the election at the invitation of the NEC. The mission, led by the Development
Planning Unit (DPU) at University College London (UCL), and Somaliland Focus UK, observed 350
polling stations and tallying centres across Somaliland’s six regions on polling day.
The EOM was able to report a largely peaceful and well-organised polling day in areas observed,
albeit with some concerns. We noted at the time that irregularities observed were not of sufficient
scale to have impacted the final result. Throughout the election period, Somalilanders
demonstrated their support for the rule of law and constitutional process
, voting peacefully and in
significant numbers, and we applaud this ongoing commitment to peaceful participation in an
impressively open electoral system.

Somaliland declared unilateral independence from Somalia in 1991
following the collapse of Somalia’s government. It remains internationally
unrecognised.
