Six polling stations in the capital are open to voters casting their ballots for constituencies in Harari Regional State. Voters will be choosing their parliamentary representatives and 36 candidates for regional council seats.


Hannan Mohammed, one of the 748 voters registered in the capital, cast her ballot this morning at a station near the Gazebo roundabout in Qirqos District. The station is manned by three poll workers and five observers from political parties and civil society organisations. It is among 230 across the country hosting voters from Harari Regional State.


Hannan is delighted that she did not have to travel 360Km east to cast her ballot. She is one of around 200 people that have voted in the capital thus far.
