Lists of office-holders
Members of Somalia's 10th Federal Parliament (2016 to 2022)
Somalia's 10th Parliament was elected indirectly in October and November 2016 and inaugurated on 27 December 2016. It was the first with two houses: a 275-seat House of the People and a 54-seat Upper House. This page lists the 268 House members and 53 senators that the parliament's website showed in April 2017, as kept by Wikipedia.
In short
The House of the People was elected between 23 October and 10 November 2016, and the Upper House on 10 October 2016, in indirect elections (Wikipedia, 2016 Somali parliamentary election). This was the first parliament with two houses: the Upper House was created in 2016 (Wikipedia, Federal Parliament of Somalia). The tenth parliament was inaugurated on 27 December 2016, and the parliament's office said members would serve from 2016 to 2020 (same source). The 11th Parliament replaced it in April 2022; see Members of the House of the People, 11th Parliament (2022).
The names below come from Wikipedia's list of members, which cites the parliament's own member pages as captured on 3 April 2017 (Wikipedia, List of members of the Federal Parliament of Somalia). That list gives 268 House members of 275 and 53 senators of 54, without seat or state. Names are spelled as on that list. Wikipedia's article heads the list as the 11th Parliament, but its sources are the 2017 member pages, so they show the 10th Parliament as seated in 2017; editors may have changed some names since.
How the 2016 vote worked
Each House member was elected by an electoral college of 51 people appointed by the 135 traditional elders; of the 51, 16 were meant to be women, 10 youth and 25 from civil society (Wikipedia, 2016 Somali parliamentary election). Across the country the electorate grew from 135 male elders in 2012 to more than 13,000 delegates in 2016, 30% of them women, voting in six locations, according to a UN statement to the Security Council quoted by Wikipedia (Wikipedia, Federal Parliament of Somalia). The Upper House's 54 members were chosen by federal member state rather than by clan (same source). On 27 December 2016 the UN mission reported that 283 members of both houses had been sworn in (UNSOM, "Somalia swears in 283 members of parliament", 27 December 2016).
Members who later held other offices, such as minister, are covered in the office lists in Lists of office-holders. Where a member has a page on Calankii, the name links to it.
