Quoting the Kulmiye Party website:
"The party was registered in May 2002, and ran for the December 2002 local
elections, winning enough votes to become one of the three permanent political
parties in Somaliland."
The "Somaliland Center" website, 30 March 2008, shows the flag of the Kulmiye
Party ("Xisbiga Kulmiye") as divided green-yellow by the ascending
diagonal. There is a long article, written in Somali, below the image.
While this flag seems to be the official one, there is no consistency in flag
use by the party, as shown by images from the party elections, 29-30 March 2008,
available on YouTube, showing (at least) two
variants in use, divided yellow-green by the descending diagonal and divided
green-yellow by the descending diagonal, respectively.
