It is notable to wait for 70 years since its independence for Somalia to make the transition from an indirect electoral process to a direct one that allows the citizens of the country to vote freely and fully. This is in revolution from the indirect model that has been in practice all along in which elders of the clans and their selected representatives were used to install leaders.
The latter is positive in that it signifies leaning towards democratization encouraging the populace to build the nation’s leadership without the using any middle people. Yet, adopting such a system in Somalia has its limits like providing security, registering the voters, and instilling faith in the electoral process especially in the regions that are still subjugated and not free.
The change signifies how far Somalia has come in the process of rebuilding the political structures of the country, promoting cohesion, and giving a voice to every Somali in the aspiration of the country. If this succeeds, it could conclusively bring about durable development and peace.

However, it has been decried for cementing clan politics thereby hindering any forms of democracy in the country.
3. Parliamentary Democracy: Somalia is a bicameral legislature state: House of the People: Lower house with representative members from each region. The senate: Upper house that consists of members from the federal units. Together these two houses elect the president of the nation. The president of the nation appoints the prime minister who heads the executive and forms the cabinet.
4. Indirect Elections: It is noteworthy that indirect elections in which clan elders and delegates elect representatives have always been employed in Somalia. However, efforts are made to shift to a one-person one-vote system, which is viewed as a vital path for advancing democracy.
