HARGEISA, Somalia Mar 1 (Garowe Online) - The leading opposition figure in Somalia's separatist republic of Somaliland has warned against delaying the upcoming presidential election, Radio Garowe reports.

Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, chairman of the opposition Kulmiye party, told a Sunday press conference in the Somaliland capital Hargeisa that the two house of Parliament must hold an emergency session and "elect a caretaker President."

"My advice is that the presidential election be held on time [March 29, 2009], or that President Riyale be removed from office and a caretaker President should administer [Somaliland] until the new election date," said Mr. Silanyo, who is widely seen as President Dahir Riyale's main challenger.

The Somaliland Election Commission issued a statement postponing the March 29 election. At a meeting with Somaliland's three political parties, the election commission presented a new election date within 91 days.

"The planned election delay could bring disorder to Somaliland," Mr. Silanyo warned.

He indicated that the "only way to survive disorder" is for the two house of Parliament – the House of Guurti and the House of Representatives – to hold an emergency session and strip power from President Riyale and Vice President Ahmed Yusuf Yasin, who were elected in 2003.

Mr. Silanyo condemned the election commission for suggesting a new election date without consultation from the two house of Parliament, saying: "The election commission does not have the authority to set a new election date."

President Riyale's government received an illegal one-year term extension in May 2008, after the House of Guurti passed a motion the opposition condemend as unconstitutional.

Delaying the March 29 election date would make it the second time the presidential election has been delayed.

Somaliland unilaterally declared independence from the rest of Somalia in 1991 but has not been recognized internationally.
