In a session on Saturday Dec 06,2014, 153 members voted to oust Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed, with 80 voting for him to stay.
The vote is part of a political battle between Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud which has crippled the government.
“The Prime Minister and his government are out of office,” Speaker
Mohamed Sheikh Osman Jawari said after 153 members of parliament voted
against the premier and 80 backed him. “We ask the President to
establish a government as soon as possible.”
The Prime Minister had been in office for just under a year after his
predecessor, who also argued about the composition of the cabinet and
been accused of poor performance, was voted out.
