This date marked the official end of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term; yet no election date was set. Instead, the President officially signed a final set of constitutional amendments passed by majority vote in the Federal Parliament into law – he contends that this grants an extra year to his term which now expires on 15 May 2027.

In this episode, Professor Afyare Abdi Elmi and Aweis Ahmed discuss scenarios to navigate Somalia's current political stalemate and pathways for a peaceful political transition.

“Change or die.” Those were some of the first words spoken by Angus Taylor as the Liberal party’s newly installed leader in February. But three months later, the Liberal Opposition has suffered an historic loss at the Farrer by-election, losing control of a seat in southern NSW that it held for nearly 80 years. The significance of the loss is overshadowed only by the historic victory for One Nation candidate David Farley, who becomes the first One Nation MP elected to Federal Parliament’s House of Reps.
