On Sunday, members of parliament in Somalia will gather in a hangar at an airport outside the capital Mogadishu. They’re meeting to decide who will be the next president. The MPs themselves were only sworn in last month, after elections were postponed for more than a year. But even with a vote about to take place, most Somalis won’t get to cast a ballot. The electoral system in Somalia is unique, with clan elders appointing MPs, who then select the president. In the first of two episodes look at the elections, Alan Kasujja asks what the delays have meant for people in Somalia. #AfricaDaily
