2003 Somaliland presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presidential elections were held in Somaliland on 14 April 2003. The result was a victory for incumbent President Dahir Riyale Kahin, who won by a margin of just 0.01%. The outcome was initially rejected by the main opposition, which led to violence and a subsequent ban on public protests for a ten-day period starting on 22 April.[1] Nevertheless, the International Crisis Group labeled the election a democratic "milestone" for the breakaway state.[2] On 11 May the Somaliland Supreme Court endorsed Kahin's victory.[3] He was sworn in on 16 May.[4]
