— Electoral posters line the streets of Somaliland as the self-declared republic prepares to hold its second presidential election on Saturday, an exercise in governance not seen for decades in the country's anarchic south. Three men are vying to become president of the unrecognized region, a haven of relative peace in northwest Somalia.
The candidates agreed to hold campaign rallies on different days in order to avoid bouts of violence between supporters. More than 1.6 million people have registered to vote at more than 1,000 polling sites. Three presidential candidates are incumbent Dahir Riyale Kahin, Ahmed Mohamud Silanyo and Feysal Ali Warabe. Kahin, leader of the Democratic United National party, or Udub, was elected president in 2003 with 42.08 percent of ballots cast in an election won by 80 votes.
