Somalia may be headed for delayed polls following an acrimonious squabble between the federal government and opposition contenders for the presidency.
Such a delay, which now looks likely, could be a repeat of the 2011 polls which were delayed as the country shifted from a transitional government to a federal government, and which forced the then Prime Minister Mohamed Farmaajo out of power in the infamous Kampala Accord.
