Egal demanded ever-broader party admissions, clashing with Hussen.

Evidence

Subsequently, Egal met with the SYL’s central committee, chaired by Hussen, and the governing party decided to honor his request that the thirteen former members who were expelled from the party earlier in the year be readmitted. But the prime minister designate was still not happy with the SYL’s towering majority in parliament and later demanded that non-SYL MPs be allowed to join the party. Furious at Hussen’s unwillingness to let him have his way with the party, Egal sought Osman’s support: [Egal] came to me on board the PM Fiat 2300, although he is not PM yet as he has not formed his cabinet. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 974
