Somalia’s Finance Minister Abdirahman Duale Beileh has announced that he is giving up his parliamentary seat to concentrate on other matters.
Dr Beileh, one of country’s top economists and also famous for poetry, said he will not defend his Lower House Parliamentary seat which came out for a vote on Tuesday. He had been occupying the House of the People (HOP) seat number 201 for Awdal region in the 10th parliament, and was widely anticipated to seek re-election.
