## In short

Dates come from the position-held records in Wikidata, checked against each person's Wikipedia article where one exists. Several deputy prime ministers also held a ministry at the same time. ([Wikidata, position-held records](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q111819846))

Each row below gives the holder's name in English and Somali spelling, dates in office and the source for that row. Dates are from [Wikidata, position-held records](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q111819846); where sources give different dates, the note says so.
