JSP Secretary General Resigns, Accuses President Mohamud of Running 'One-Man Show'

The Secretary General of the Somali Justice and Peace Party (JSP) — President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's own party — resigned in a scathing public statement accusing the president of running a 'one-man show,' citing his unconstitutional handling of the March 2026 constitutional amendments and the imposition of travel restrictions on opposition lawmakers who sought to block the changes. The resignation followed Southwest State President Laftagareen's own JSP departure on March 18 and further exposed deep fractures within Mohamud's political coalition. The JSP internal collapse signals that the constitutional crisis is no longer confined to inter-governmental disputes but has penetrated the ruling party itself.
