Presidential straw poll
If you could pick a president, who?
A cross-party slate of prominent figures. Every profile is sourced and labeled. The president is elected by members of parliament, so this is an explicit what-if, never an official tally.
This is a what-if. The public does not directly elect the president in Somalia. Results are indicative, not an official tally.
