Hussen’s government won a 74-vote confidence motion despite a 13-member SYL revolt.

Evidence

Parliament started its proceeding on July 12 and much of the day was taken by the opposition who criticized government for all sorts of things. Late in the day, when the voting came, the SNC, SDU, and thirteen members of the SYL voted against the government, but the government prevailed with 74 votes out of 108 MPs present. Among those who gave a confidence vote were all HDMS members present and Sharmarkee. … The party followed through with its threat and expelled the renegade thirteen from the party. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 896
