The election of a new President and Members of Parliament s in Somalia must be expedited without any delays, British Minister for Africa Tobias Ellwood said while meeting President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Abdirashid Sharmarke on Tuesday.

In an exclusive interview with Goobjoog News in Mogadishu, Ellwood said Somalia was entering a very important chapter adding that the elections should take place as soon as possible to actualize the new beginning: "We encourage the elections to take place as soon as possible. 

We really don’t want too much of a delay between the end of the mandates of Parliament and the President and the elections themselves. 

We have got to get all these right. 

So we do encourage them to happen as soon as possible.”

Ellwood said he impressed upon the President and the Prime Minister on the need to ensure the polls are conducted on time noting the international community looked forward to the exercise being conducted without any further delays.

Regarding Britain’s decision to exit the European Union following the June 23 Brexit vote, the British Minister said his country will remain committed to its bilateral relations and support for Somalia just as it will actively continue its role on the international arena.

"I can confirm to you that there is every intention for Britain to remain fully engaged on the international stage. 

When it comes to countries like Somalia we are the pen holders. 

We remain a permanent member of the United Nations and fully committed with the desire and determination to play our role on the international stage. 

And that, am sure, will continue here in Somalia as well,” said the UK official.
