From what I heard from someone very close to him, Farmaajo has secured 135 parliamentarians so far outside of the 15 Marehan who have not put in Parliament yet.
The person in Mogadishu who is really close to him said
1. 15 members of the Tayo government of all tribes are in the parliament and are active members of his campaign
2. Farmaajo has secured the promises of all the members of the Murusade clan (his in-laws)
3. The Habar Gidir have come onboard the last two days after they saw no HG candidate had hope, provided they become pm
4. The Others have all gotten behind the Tayo chairwoman Maryam Qasim and a parliamentarian called Khadjia Diriye (Yaxar) is leader of the .5 group and is member of Farmajo campaign (32 votes(
5. The women in the parliment lead by Dr Amina Siciid (HG/Sacad) have formed a block to vote for Farmaajo
6. Fiqi has secured the votes of a number of the Raxanweyn including his own Dabarre clan
7. The Darod many are on board, with Khatumo on board after speaker votes and the rest all on board in final round if it is him and someone else
8. He has 15 Marehan votes that have not been finalized yet and their allies in the parliament
9. Plus all the individual loyalties
I am really shocked at the extent to which people have attempted to underestimate Farmaajo in this campaign. He is not even my first candidate but the man is playing politics which would shame what people think of Sharif Sakiin and Sharif Hassan.
