Abdirazak Hussen accepted second place on Eil’s SYL list after resistance

Evidence

Yet another such case was that of Abdirazak H. Hussen. He appeared second on the SYL list in Eil, after a former pro-Italian named Ahmed Aegaag. The rationale of the local party branch ranking was that Aegaag’s clan was more dominant in the district capital. Initially, Hussen resisted accepting this order, but others prevailed on him because the SYL was assured of victory since other parties were not competing for the two seats. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 369
