Liqaaye, let me correct Reer Caynaanshe did have some candidates and do have some MPS in the government, The Somaliland Minister of Family and Social Development, - Marwo Fadumo Suudii is Reer Caynaanshe, here is she.
Hot Mama.
Togdheer UCID Cabdilaahi Jaamac Muuse Ismaaciil - Issaq-Habr Yonis-Bah Ainashe Male MP
Togdheer UCID Luul Xaashi Cawad Carraale - Issaq-Habr Yonis-Reer Ainashe Female MP
- Togdheer UDUB Xasan Jaamac Cali Nur Bacad - Issaq-Habr Yonis-Reer Ainashe MP
it's also the fact that Reer Caynaanshe have heavy numbers in ethiopia so it wouldn't be fair if they also have heavy MPS in somaliland so it had to be shared around with the other Xirsi Cismaans - such as Bah Dhulbahante who had about 4 candidates 2 hargeysa and 2 in togdheer i am surprised.
as for the Ciidagale they have been unfairly under represented since most of their populations are in the Hawd Ethiopia, also Reer Caynaanshe is a big sub clan we all know that but they are part of Cumar Cabdalle - Cumar Cabdalle is the biggest section of H.Y then you have Muse Ismaaciil, but Muse ismaaciil is like 5 times bigger when compared to Reer Caynaanshe in Somaliland i am not sure about Ethiopia though , Xirsi Cismaan and Muse Ismaaciil could be a stalemate though or even Xirsi Cismaan could be bigger since they have numerous numbers in the hawd, but then again Muse ismaaciil - Reer Cawl also do have some numbers in the Hawd specially Gorgor , Danood areas, the ciidagale in somaliland didn't elect their MPS smartly the problem was addressed by Yawle in another thread the reason behind their mistake of putting all their votes on two man instead of sharing the votes for the 8 deserved MPS of Ciidagale - since their deegaan geography in Waqooyi Galbeed right number should have been 8 MPS, but they will play smartly this upcoming elections they have learned their lesson to never just put their might in two man only .
And lastly as you can see H.Y were also Pro UCID and UDUB at the same time - 47% of H.Y voted for UCID , and 39% voted for UDUB , 14% voted for Kulmiye.
"For some reason, the Habar Yoonis candidates in Kulmiye did not attract the votes of the Habar Yoonis electorate – just 18,540 votes (14%), compared to the 61,025 (47%) and 51,588 (39%) received by the Habar Yoonis candidates from UCID and UDUB. For this reason, just one of the 17 Habar Yoonis MPs belongs to Kulmiye, while there are eight each from UCID and UDUB. Kulmiye clearly had difficulties in recruiting Garxajis candidates to its party. In Sanaag, it could not find any credible Habar Yoonis candidates who enjoyed the support of the Habar Yoonis electorate or leaders. And in Hargeysa, Kulmiye faced the same problem, with its Habar Yoonis/Ciidangale candidate receiving most of his votes from non-Garxajis sub-clans."
And here is a reference of the Ciidagale problem and the mistake they made a reference from Proffesor Yawle anaylzing what the problem that occured within the ciidagale when electings MPS.
"With reference to the below post, I was thinking to eleminate this sort of a problem which occured to the Ciidagale clan in the last parliamentary elections. We should introduce a tweaked version of " preferencing voting" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_voting).
The idea behind preferential voting is that, some candidates in a typical election will get more votes than is required to become an MP. These excess number of votes can be donated to a "prefered" candidate who might be strugling to cross the line. So at the end of the day, the Political Party which is more popular in the general elections (number of votes) will earn the biggest number of parliament seats. Hence, instead of those votes being wasted for nothing, they are counted.
The Ciidagale voted not smartly. They voted for a select small number of people, when they needed to spread their votes across a number of candidates. For example, the owner of Ambassador Hotel got the largest number of votes throughout the country, about 15,000 votes alone. That number of votes were enough to bring 3 MPs into parliament. The second runner up was also another Ciidagale guy Mahdi Buuba who recieved over 10,000 votes too..
In comparison, the Sacad Muse and Arap clans averaged between 7 thousand and 4 thousand votes for their MPs that crossed the line. The 20 candidates with the biggest votes were chosen into Parliament... and Ciidagale spent all their voting power for a select number of candidates. I am sure they learned their lesson and the upcoming election in 2011 will be different."
