Somalia elections 'to start next month'

The electoral commission in Somalia says elections, which were meant to have started on Saturday, have been delayed for a month.
 
The process to choose a new parliament and president will take several weeks.

Some fourteen thousand delegates will elect a lower house, and regional states will choose the upper house.
 
The two houses will then elect a president for a new four-year term at the end of November, instead of October as originally scheduled.
 
No official reason has been given, but reports from Somalia say there are unresolved disputes about how the process should work.
