Somalia PM Hussein Roble’s relations with federal member states on Tuesday appeared to sour after a key regional government accused him of mishandling electoral disputes.

The South West State of Somalia issued a statement on Tuesday, strongly opposing the handling of the election affairs by Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble in a further signal that the much-delayed elections may yet take longer to complete.
