South West State President Sharif Hassan Adan is said to be in the Kenya capital Nairobi for a series of meetings as lobbying for the vote of no confidence against Speaker of the Lower House Mohamed Osman Jawari continues.
A source who accompanied the regional leader said Sharif on Thursday night met a delegation from UAE made up of investors and government officials.
A source claims Shariff is seeking to financially boost chances of ousting Jawari in exchange for investment opportunities and the reverse of the ban on DP World passed by Parliament recently.
There has been long running political animosity between Jawari and Sharif both from the South West region after the 2012 elections where he (Sharif) lost the race to become Speaker.
Somalia has been thrown in to a political quagmire following a fall out between PM Hassan Ali Khaire and Speaker Jawari.
Mps seeking to oust Jawari must attain a two third 184 votes threshold which up to date they are yet to confirm.
President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo is yet to publicly address the current political stalemate
