In a strategic move ahead of the 2026 elections, a new party by Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was officially launched under the name ” Justice and Solidarity Party (JSP)“.
This new political platform brings together key figures from the federal government and leadership in regional states such as Galmudug, Hirshabelle, and Southwest Somalia.
The party aims to consolidate power and present a unified front in the upcoming national vote.
A New Party by Somalia President With Political Debate
The announcement, however, has sparked controversy and political debate across Somalia.
Critics argue that the formation of JSP could further polarize Somalia’s political landscape.
Especially as key federal member states like Puntland and Jubaland have been excluded.
This exclusion is raising concerns about deepening political divisions and the weakening of Somalia’s fragile federal system.
Is There Any Supporters for the New Party by Somalia President?
Supporters of the party see it as a positive step toward political organization and stability.
While opponents fear it may undermine inclusive governance and democracy.
The move is also seen as part of President Hassan Sheikh’s broader effort to reshape the political structure and increase influence ahead of the 2026 elections.
As Somalia continues its journey toward national elections, the launch of the JSP is likely to shape political dynamics, influence electoral alliances, and test the strength of Somalia’s federal framework.
