6. CONCLUSIONS
The research clearly demonstrates the election's concerns for the majority of the public, with the voiceless suffering from a lack of involvement in the country's social and policy issues. The civil society clusters, which represent hundreds of organizations working on the ground for the Somali people in a variety of areas and sectors, came to an agreement in two days of virtual discussions facilitated by the IEDP Centre, the Institute of Education for the Disabled People, which coordinated the Somali Disability Cluster and funded the UNSOM HRPG.

1. Women & Children Cluster
Women and girls make up the majority of Somalis, yet their political involvement is restricted to a 30 % quota. This restricts the cistern's ability to participate in the leadership. Women are only allowed to compete in reserved seats. Women and girls will be victims of Somalia's existing power sharing, which is in violation of the rights of the majority of the population, particularly women, who are the country's main breadwinners and peacemakers.
Somali Youth Cluster (SYC)
The bulk of Somalis are young individuals who are discriminated against in the top leadership and important legislative positions. The young are required to participate in election coordination teams, and voters are unlikely to vote for the candidates. The issues are diverse. Huge sums of money, racial discrimination in elections, and political control by persons over 40 years old are all factors.
Without a larger role for young in the country's election and decision-making processes, the country's future will be uncertain. Illegal migration will be pursued by the young in order to obtain foreign nationals, which is a popular market in youth political involvement. The present generation of leaders are expatriate youngsters with dual citizenship. These may jeopardize the lives of millions of young people who are willing to die in the dangerous meditation waters.
Persons with Disabilities Cluster (PWD
Without a national census, there are a large number of PWDs in the Somali community, although international PWDs estimation census in nations without a national census is more than 15% of the population. Without a role and representation in the people, the figure in Somalia may be far higher. Surrounded by long-term social and policy marginalization. The bulk of them are poor and lack a high level of education as well as legal and professional abilities.
The Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs) took action to advocate for the inclusion of PWDs in social and political life. Somalia became a member of the CRPD, and it now has a great responsibility to be inclusive for all. PWDs have no voting rights in municipal governments, federal states, or the federal government. PWDs were intentionally discriminated against in the national election legislation,
electoral committees at the federal, state, and federal government levels, and election voters. In addition to the observation team. Discrimination against people with disabilities and people with disabilities in elections is a violation of the CRPD and other international laws.
Marginalized Community Cluster
The marginalized people are victims of the Somalia federal government's reconciliations and decisionmaking tables, which legalised before 4.5 political power sharing, giving prevailed rights and roles to Somalia's "four major clans" while humiliating hundreds of other clans for their only role in the peace. These people did not take part in the bloody civil war that resulted in the creation of four new armed clans and the deaths of non-armed clans.
The 4.5 is being used as a solution for the Somalia peace process by civil society, the international community, Somali federal states, and the federal government. These individuals are barred from holding positions of power in the federal states and the federal government. Political involvement is a breach of international law, including the African Charter, the Human Rights Protocol, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Humanitarian Development Cluster
The large number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), who number more than 2.5 million and are spread over more than 1,000 places, face a lack of involvement and rights in Somalia's democratic future. The power sharing is clan-based, and those who have relocated from their home areas have lost their privileges as citizens with universal rights in the host community. In the past and in the future, these persons have been victims of direct and indirect elections in the country.
Human Right Cluster
Pre-election and post-election breaches of human rights and laws are conceivable throughout the electoral process. In the day-to-day operations and procedural activities, election stakeholders may encounter conflicts of interest. Human rights abuses against individuals, groups, and organizations are rampant during this time of activity.
