 Voting for members of Somalia's Lower House of Parliament has been rescheduled for late November, a move that will delay the indirect election of a president. Voting for lawmakers by elders had been due to be completed this week with the election of a speaker and swearing in of members of parliament happening next week in time for them to pick a president on the 10th of October. But an Election Implementation Commission has drawn up a new timetable for the drawn out process showing that lawmakers will be picked between October 1st and November 20th. The timetable did not give a date when the lawmakers will elect a president. The current government's term expired in February. A delay in holding the election and a roll between President Muhammad Abdullah Muhammad's attempt to extend his rule caused the political crisis and an armed standoff in the streets of the capital. That impasse was resolved in May when the country's Prime Minister, Muhammad Hussein Robul said he was committed to free and fair polls after he signed an agreement with leaders from the country's regions to hold indirect elections after a crisis was triggered.
