The first term of incumbent President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo ends on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks between the federal government and regional states on how to proceed with elections collapsed on 5 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement on Monday, opposition presidential candidates said they would cease to recognise Mr Farmajo as president because his term had expired.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They called for the formation of a transitional body made up of the speakers of the two houses, leaders of regional administrations and representatives from their alliance to steer the country to the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also urged the Somali National Army to stop taking orders from President Farmajo from Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country had already missed a deadline to hold parliamentary elections in December 2020 due to persistent disputes between the federal government and some regional administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
