Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed vs Ram Jethmalani

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, known as Farmajo, was elected President of Somalia by the Federal Parliament. His election was seen as a potential turning point for the country's political stability and fight against corruption.

Shortly after his election, controversy erupted over Farmajo's dual citizenship with the United States. Somali law prohibits dual citizens from holding high office, leading to a parliamentary investigation and debate about his eligibility.

Farmajo's term ended in February 2021 without elections held, leading to a political crisis. After months of deadlock and clashes in Mogadishu, he agreed to a new electoral process and handed over power to Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in May 2022.

Ram Jethmalani represented Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court's decision to unseat her for electoral malpractice. He successfully argued for a stay, but the case led to the declaration of Emergency in India.

Jethmalani defended several accused in the 1993 Bombay serial blasts case, including underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's associates. His legal arguments challenged the prosecution's evidence, though many accused were convicted.

Jethmalani was appointed Law Minister in the Vajpayee government. He pushed for judicial reforms and the appointment of more judges, but resigned in 2000 after differences with the government over the appointment of a chief justice.
