Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has wished the new Somalia Head of State good health and success as he took over the reins of leadership.
In a statement, Uhuru assured Somalia’s elect president of Kenya’s continued cooperation and comradeship.
“In his congratulatory message, President Kenyatta wished the new Somalia Head of State good health and success as he takes over the reins of leadership, and assured him of Kenya’s continued cooperation and comradeship,” Uhuru said.
Mohamud who got 214 votes defeated the outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo who received 110 votes in the third round of Sunday’s vote.
The elect president was voted out of power in 2017 after serving as Somali president between 2012 and 2017.
The new president faces a daunting task in the Horn of Africa nation of 15 million people which is suffering drought, hunger and seemingly never-ending conflict.
