Hussen conceded on party membership expansion to avoid a personality-based coalition government

Evidence

Abdirazak said that in agreement with at least 18 of the 23 central committee members they decided to satisfy Egal by opening up party membership to non-SYL MPs. Abdirazak is truly of a fantastic comprehension and generosity! I believe that he has acted very well in this matter, because in truth, to stand his ground in these matters risks losing face for himself and the party since you cannot count on the opportunistic deputies and those without principles, who could get to the point where they allow the formation of a so-called coalition government not among parties but among individuals without any political affiliation! For whatever reason that he did it, I raise my hat to Abdirazak who showed himself to be ever greater. It’s a pity that so few have recognized his qualities! — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 977
