Lists of office-holders
Members of Somalia's House of the People, 11th Parliament (2022)
On 1 April 2022 Somalia's Federal Election Implementation Team (FEIT) published the names of 245 elected members of the House of the People, the 275-seat lower house of the 11th Federal Parliament, with each member's seat number. 50 of the 245 are women. This page gives that full list by member state and seat.
In short
The House of the People (Golaha Shacabka) is the lower house of Somalia's Federal Parliament, with 275 seats; the Upper House has 54 (Wikipedia, Federal Parliament of Somalia). Members are not chosen by a popular vote. In 2016 the electorate was more than 13,000 delegates, up from 135 male elders in 2012, according to a UN statement quoted by Wikipedia (Wikipedia, Federal Parliament of Somalia). Kenya's The Star headlined the 2022 round "Somalia's elections where the people don't vote" (The Star, 14 April 2022).
The Federal Election Implementation Team (Guddiga Hirgelinta Doorashooyinka Heer Federaal, FEIT) published the results for both houses in a signed and stamped list. It named 245 House members, each with a seat number written "GSH#" (Golaha Shacabka), and their sex (FEIT results list, as published by Hiiraan Online, April 2022). Hiiraan Online reported that four seats were held back as suspended, three from South West, including the seat of former Speaker Mohamed Osman Jawari, and Hirshabelle seat HOP086, where the result for Fahad Yasin was suspended; Hirshabelle and Jubaland still had 26 seats to elect at the time (same source). The members were sworn in on 14 April 2022 (Wikipedia, Federal Parliament of Somalia).
The House's own online directory lists 104 members (House of the People, Members). This page fills the gap with the full FEIT list. For the Upper House senators and the House directory, see Members of Somalia's Federal Parliament. For how the parliament works, see Federal Parliament.

About the list
- Names are copied in the Somali spelling FEIT used. "Maxamed" is Mohamed, "Cabdi" is Abdi, "Xasan" is Hassan, "Cali" is Ali. Nicknames are in brackets, as on the list.
- Seat numbers are as printed. The list prints three seat numbers twice: GSH#033 (twice under Hirshabelle), GSH#063 (Hirshabelle and South West) and GSH#158 (Puntland and South West).
- The list marks Jubaland member Maxamuud Muxumed Cumar (Kuulow), seat GSH#079, as deceased ("dhintay").
- Seats on the "Somaliland" list were filled in Mogadishu for the northern regions; Somaliland itself does not take part in federal elections. See Members of Somaliland's House of Representatives.
- Where a member already has a page on Calankii, the name links to it.
