@Sultan What about the 4.5 system? Will it be retained or abolished and also how will regional power sharing work under this system?
A modified 4.5 will work for USR in the initial phase.I doubt full blown democracy will not suit USR bc elections will polarise the nation and the worst kind of tribalism will resume.Therefore, Unless a strong modern government institutions are built we can't gamble with western type of democracy.
The 4.5 system will be revisited due to the following reasons.
1)To accommodate MPs from the National cities.
2)To satisfy all clans especially the fifth clan,Northen Harti and Isaaq clans.
3)To establish a strict and better selection method based on merits at the district level.
4)Every candidate should have a tertiary education from a reputed university.
5)the selection should always be fair under the close supervision of the National intelligence and independent electoral bodies to eliminate any chance of corruption.
6)We need clan based democracy that will best suit USR bc it will ensure political stability and minimal clan conflict.
How will 4.5 modified ?
The five National cities will each have extra 4 mps and fifth clan will get extra mps
Total clan Mps will look like this.
Darood 67MPs
Dir 64 MPs
Hawiye 66 MPs
Raxaweyn 64 Mps
37 -Besha Sanaad
300 mps -
