The ruling Kulmiye led by Muse Bihi party lost to the opposition on May 31 parliamentary election in Somaliland first since 2005.

Opposition parties join hands in parliament after the ruling Kulmiye party faced a shocking defeat in May 31 election.

More than one million voters took part in voting in Somaliland's first parliamentary elections since 2005, with 246 candidates vying for 82 seats.

The minister announced that the Somaliland election that started on Monday has been concluded peacefully in the evening and the turnout was high when compared to previous elections in the northern region.

Doorashada Baarlamanka Somaliland lama qaban mudo 16 sano ah, waxayna ahayd sida dastuurka uu dhigayo in shanti sano mar ay dhacdo, waxaana jirin hal Xildhibaan oo kuwii hore ah oo isasoo sharaxay.

Wuxuu ahaa tartanka mid adag, oo looga adkaadey Xisbiga talada haya ee Kulmiye, kaasoo doorashadii May 31 ku guuldareystay inuu helo aqlabiyadda Xildhibaanada.

Hanaanka doorashadda Baarlamaanka ayaa u muuqda mid aan lagu wada qanacsanyn, oo ay soo baxayaan tabashooyin ay qabaan saamileyda qaar.

Farmaajo ayaa joojiyay lacagtii deeqbixiyaasha ugu tala-galeen Somaliland, oo sanduuq gaar ah loogu shubi jiray.

Maamulka Somaliland ayaa raadinaya aqoonsi mudo 30 sano ah, iyadoo wali aan jirin hal wadan oo aqoonsaday tan iyo 1991.

The opposition won total control over the region's legislature, and fully defeated the rulling party Kulmiye following May 31 parliamentary election. 

With results from almost all of the polling stations counted, the ruling Kulmiye party was shown with a wide lead over UCID and Waddani in the race for the 82-seat parliament and the civic leaders.

Rabshado ayaa ka socda qaar kamid ah degaanada Somaliland kadib markii la masuq-maasuqay doorashadda.
