Presidential elections will be held in Somaliland on 6 April 2009.^[1] They were originally scheduled for 31 August 2008,^[2] but the instability in the eastern Sanaag and Sool regions led the Guurti to extend the incumbent's term for a year in early April 2008,^[3] setting the election for 15 March 2009.^[4] This was heavily criticised by the opposition -- in the end, a compromise led to the currently planned election date.
