Prime Minister Hussen recruited rival Egal into the SYL to groom him for leadership.

Evidence

Hussen declared that he was not interested in the premiership after his term ended and that Egal, as a most prominent member of parliament, had a good chance for leadership if he joined the SYL. Hussen nominated him for membership, and Egal was voted in. In his acceptance speech, he remarked, half jokingly, that many in the house would assume that he was joining the party solely to realize his political ambition. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 875
