All this 4.5 is a circus side show, this was already agreed in Kismaayo months before, it's the sort of the stuff that's fed to gullible public, Several whistle blowers from inside the Puntland camp this past week, tell a complete different story, this has become the talk of the town. Somali politics is the most amusing thing in this world, things can change every minute.
The plan by DJ is to get Omar Abdi Rashid as the President who will then name HSM as the PM to counteract the heavy surge of Ahla Sheikh lead by Sh Shariif who is going to Xamar this coming week to start his massive campaign backed by both Qatar and Turkey.
Omar Abdi Rashid a DJ task was to get Puntland on their side and by extension Jubaland, by giving MJ the presidency which he would head up, the Xabashi's support this as they really don't want Shariif back, with the fiasco going on in Hiirshabelle and Shariif lurking with unlimited $$$ will mean that Damul Jadiid is unlikely to win outright majority, especially if your factor in civil society and other voting blocks.
This is causing massive rifts within the Bermuda triangle camp, both ultra greedy Gas and Faroole want to fill the MJ presidency, the feud has reached epic proportions with Faroole viciously criticizing Gaas

Gaas and Abdirashid have allied against Faroole, which lead to Faroole to breakaway and announce he is running. Guled seems to have found out about this clandestine pact and has done something he has never done before to his friend HSM, he has come out and publicly criticized him in the media this week, perhaps a disguised way of reaching out to Ahla Sheikh camp

The federal states will be gathering their own MP's for the parliament, the talk is that votes are going for 70K, weeks before it was less then half that, this is causing the great panic within Damul Jadiid camp, this has never been about Qabiil but loyalty to the party, Omar Abdi Rashid has proved his loyalty, because both man are not liked by their communities, but Qabiil at the end beats all, you can already imagine every Jaberti rallying around Darood presidency.
Koonfur Galbeed is already 100% Damul Jadiid, he will have Puntland, Jubaland as 100%, with just Galmudug and possibly much of Hiirshabelle opposing him, the battle then will be to buy out those DIR, Civil society and Benadir voters which will come down to who has the most $$$
