As per the sources I posted above the PM was involved with the decision to postpone elections for a year so I m not convinced that the parliament is still advocating for August elections Both your suggestions are reasonable L tak It seems pretty clear that the elections in August are at least in doubt so we shouldn t definitively claim that they will take place in August without some sort of qualification Removing the statement entirely would also solve the problem Also if we keep the statement I m not sure it s fair to call them national elections As far as I can tell the elections were only planned to take place is Mogadishu Maybe Direct presidential elections would be a more accurate description than national and get Middayexpress point across
