2. Sheikh Sharif

3. Abdirahman Mahamed Abdi Xaashi

I think Sh sharif deserves a second term he tried so hard to bring Mogadishu under one admin with success he opened several embassies across the world despite all the Problems and challenges and war and famine he re opened the national theater of Somalia he liberated balcad afgooye marka beledweyne baydhabo etc he did a good job He re established the Somali national army with training and funding tonight Mogadishu has a capable police force. If he doesn't win the veteran cadow has my support

Its between Farmaajo and Sheikh Sharif,

This.
If not, then Yuusuf garaad or Baadiyow

My two candidates are Faarmajo and Baadiyow. Wish them both luck

1) Sh.Baadiyoow
2) Sh.Yusuf Garaad
3) Sh.Dalxiis

How will the elections be though the first round many will not go through the final round so who is most likely to be in the last and final round i think

Its Sh sharif
Farmaajo
Cadow
and Abdiweligaas

Sh. Shariif deserves a second term. Out of all the candidates running, he is the only one who can say he did something to improve the lives of the average Somali post-civil war. He started out as a local judge during the pre-ICU days under the Madani courts in Xamar. The architect behind the expulsion of the warlords from the capital, under his leadership did Xamar experience the best 6 months in the last 30 years, during his adminstration was the opening of the airport and main port. One of the masterminds behind the leaving of Ethiopian forces from the capital, the first Somali president to build a mosque in villa Somalia, the first to lead people in prayer, the first to express interest in sitting down with Alshabaab during his early days as a president, the first president willing to open dialogue with Somaliland, the first to accept Khaatumo, Jubbaland, accommodated Puntland, restructured the military, brought Turkey on board, brought peace & stability to the capital. Where was Caddow the last 20 years? In Egypt. The same applies to most of the others. He stole money? Prove it. Which leader in the world isn't corrupt, today? He changes slogans as seen fit? Who doesn't? He's a political survivalist and commend him for having the foresight to be flexible.

Hope he wins again and chooses a competent person as his prime minister this time, hopefully Farmaajo.

My choice is sheikh sharif. He is more placed to maintain that position. He been fighting for a longtime lets continue his fight for peace. I hope the best for him Or not would be farmaajo

Add, ENDED Sakiin's political career.

He's not perfect, but I just don't see anyone else more deserving or capable. I find it appalling that criminals like Salaad Ali Jeele and Gacmadheere are trying to make themselves look like law abiding citizens by running for the president. These are murderers who have the blood of Muqdisho residents on their hands. Not to mention the horde of greedy punks who'll immediately board the next plane out of the capital soon as they lose, only to return in another 4 years, meanwhile doing absolutely nothing for anyone. People like Caddow who showed up at Carta in 2000, Mbgathi in 2004, Djibouti in 2008 and here he is again, where was he all the years since? In the diaspora, watching his children grow fat. The same applies to all the others. If you haven't spent at least a year in Somalia, haven't the faintest idea about the state of the people, how dare you try to sit on the chair others have worked so hard for? It's ridiculous. They are all as corrupt and even more so than Shariif. Not to mention have nothing to show for it. Pathetic.

My favorites are:

1. Abdullahi Ahmed Addou

2. Abdiwahid Goonjeex

3. Farmaajo

4. Omar Salad Dini



Arnachist.

Addou didn't run in 2009. I disagree on Sharif La Soo Gamay as he has been a usurper, war criminal and unrepenting SOB. Addou is the compromise candidate; not a warlord, not a Islamist, no record of abuses against human rights, skilled diplomat etc. I ain't a fan but dislike him the least of all the candidates. I also wouldn't mind Gonjeex, a Marehan MP and friend of mine because he never left the country, is a moderate, and efficient administrator.

Abdiwahab-

You got two Sacad and two Marehan. What gives and why did we fight anyways?

i hope that any of the following candidates is not our next president:
1). sheikh dalxiis (he needs to take a break from free vacations )
2). farmaajo (he needs to go back to his taxi job in buffalo, NY)
3. fat boy abdiweli (the country doesn't need another abdullahi yusuf clown )
4. any sacad candidate also isn't welcomed since they are used by punanilanders

Farmaajo worked for the NY Department of Transportation in Buffalo. You're confusing him for Faroole, who was a cabbie at Silver Top in Melbourne.
