The new regime tried to buy SYL central committee votes to fire Hussen.

Evidence

Their first strategy was to deploy the same tactic they had used in the presidential campaign of buying votes of central committee members. They hoped that enough committee members would take the bait to allow them to call for a meeting of the committee to fire Hussen. Fortunately for Hussen, most members of the committee were not corrupted during the presidential campaign since most of them were not MPs. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 994
