Mogadishu (LM) As Somalia prepares for the 2026 presidential elections, Mr. Omar Abdukadir Ahmed Fiqi emerges as a prominent candidate with a strong focus on improving governance in the country. A successful businessman with a deep commitment to community development, he believes that effective governance is essential for fostering stability and prosperity in Somalia.
Mr. Omar’s campaign is built on the principle that transparent and accountable governance is critical to rebuilding trust between the government and its citizens. “Good governance is not just about leadership; it’s about creating systems that promote integrity and responsiveness,” he emphasizes. He advocates for mechanisms that ensure public officials are held accountable for their actions, encouraging citizen engagement in the governance process.
Recognizing that strong institutions are the backbone of effective governance, Mr. Omar aims to enhance the capacity of governmental and non-governmental organizations in Somalia. “We need institutions that are not only functional but also trusted by the people,” he states. His plan includes reforms that enhance the efficiency of public services, ensuring that citizens have access to essential services, such as healthcare and education.
A key aspect of Mr. Abdukadir’s governance strategy is the promotion of the rule of law. He believes that a legal framework that protects the rights of all citizens is fundamental for societal progress. “We must ensure that laws are applied fairly and consistently, regardless of one’s status,” he asserts. His goal is to create a legal environment that not only protects individual rights but also fosters economic growth by attracting investment.
Mr. Abdukadir emphasizes the importance of community participation in governance. He plans to implement platforms that allow citizens to voice their concerns and contribute to decision-making processes. “When people feel heard, they are more likely to engage positively with their government,” he explains. His approach aims to bridge the gap between the government and the public, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among citizens.

He recognizes that corruption undermines public trust and hinders development. “We must create a culture of transparency and integrity within all levels of government,” he states. His strategy includes implementing strict anti-corruption measures and promoting ethical behavior in public service.
