Facing travel restrictions and an increasingly tense security situation in Mogadishu, the lawmakers opted to hold their consultations in the Kenyan capital, a venue that has frequently hosted Somali political dialogues. The meeting reflects a deepening estrangement between the federal government and the regional states, with MPs from the three federal member states seeking to coordinate their stance on constitutional disputes, security arrangements, and recent political upheavals in Southwest Somalia. Participants describe the initiative as part of a broader effort to maintain legislative cohesion when access to the national capital is constrained.

Committees overseeing Somalia’s constitutional review process continued presentations on amendments to Chapters 5–9, with today’s session centering on the Federal Parliament and the powers of the President.
