MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Almost 40 candidates have registered for Somalia's long-delayed presidential election on Sunday, to be decided by parliament in a heavily-guarded airport hangar given the impossibility of a general vote in the dysfunctional and violent nation.
Two former presidents and an ex-prime minister are strong contenders, while the re-election hopes of the incumbent President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed have been dampened by his allies' failure to win important positions in parliament.
