Sharmarkee obstructed the government after losing the premiership in 1964

Evidence

Osman remembered Sharmarkee’s unbecoming behavior after he was not reappointed as prime minister in 1964, when Sharmarkee attempted to disrupt the transition and automatically became an opposition member. He also recalled how Sharmarkee tried every trick in the book to undermine the government’s work to boost his electoral chances and without regard to the national interest. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1471
