Election season in Somalia is in full swing.
Polls have encountered multiple delays, but this has not stopped candidates — ranging from those looking to boost their resume and public profile to serious contenders — from engaging in a carefully scripted public flirtation with office.
Putting aside the reality that only members of parliament will vote for president and serious candidates exchange bribes for votes, this is a step-by-step guide on #HowToRunForPresidentInSomalia.
Step 1: Make a grand entrance to campaign events in your chartered plane.
Step 2: Show that you have adoring (and possibly compensated) fans.
Step 3: Make sure you have an entourage. Walk with said entourage.
Step 4: Ride with said entourage.
Step 5: Blow yourself up (not like al-Shabaab…)
Step 6: Show them you love the elderly, the disabled, and the youths…
Step 7: Stay humble.
