The Somaliland House of Elders approved a 27-month term extension for the House of Representatives in April 2026, shifting the parliamentary vote from its original May 2026 target to March 2027 or later amid security challenges in eastern regions, drought-related displacement, and logistical constraints cited by the National Electoral Commission. This decision, which exceeded the commission’s recommended 10-month postponement, reflects ongoing regional instability and preparations needed for nationwide polling under the three-party constitutional limit. Traders assign overwhelming probability to no election before 2027 because the extension places the contest well into 2027 or beyond, consistent with Somaliland’s pattern of prior delays. Potential shifts could arise from rapid security gains in contested areas, constitutional challenges to the Guurti ruling, or unexpected political agreements accelerating preparations, though such developments remain limited by current conditions.
