Somalia's elections - where the people don't vote

[Deeq A.]

Somalia's new MPs are due to be sworn in shortly following a unique election for its parliament - known as the House of the People. But the people did not vote in a poll that has been dragging on for a record four months - more than double the time it took to pull off India's election, the biggest democratic exercise in the world, in which more than 600 million people voted.
