Members of Somalia's Federal Parliament (Xildhibaannada Baarlamaanka Federaalka)

What this list covers

The 11th Federal Parliament was sworn in on 14 April 2022. It has 275 seats in the House of the People and 54 in the Upper House (Federal Parliament of Somalia, Wikipedia). For how the seats are filled and what each house does, see Federal Parliament. For the people who have chaired it since 1956, see Speakers of the Somali Parliament.

The lists below come from each house's own website, read on 12 November 2026:

• Upper House: the senators page of the Upper House lists all 54 current members with their member state (Upper House, Senators of the 11th Parliament). Names there are written in Somali spelling, and we keep that spelling.
• House of the People: the members directory of the House lists 104 members, with the state each represents and their seat number, written "HOP#" (House of the People, Members). The other 171 members of the House are not yet in that directory, so this part of the list is incomplete. Wikipedia keeps a longer list of 267 House members, but its sources date from 2016 to 2022 and some names may be out of date (List of members of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, Wikipedia).

Members are named here as public office holders. Both websites also publish members' emails and phone numbers; we do not copy those.

Upper House: seats by member state

The Upper House says its 54 seats are shared as follows (Upper House, constituencies):

The Somaliland seats are filled by people chosen in Mogadishu for the northern regions. Somaliland declared independence in 1991, and Israel recognised it on 26 December 2025; most states and the African Union regard it as part of Somalia. See Somaliland's institutions.

Upper House leadership

The Speaker is Abdi Hashi Abdullahi (Cabdi Xaashi Cabdullaahi), from the Somaliland seats. The First Deputy Speaker is Ali Shacbaan Ibrahim (Cali Shacbaan Ibraahim), from Hirshabelle, and the Second Deputy Speaker is Abdullahi Ali Hersi (Cabdullaahi Cali Xersi), from Puntland. Samsam Ibrahim Ali (South West) and Iftiin Hassan Iman (Jubaland) are the house's whips (Upper House, Senators of the 11th Parliament; Upper House, leadership).

House of the People: members in the official directory

The House of the People is led by Speaker Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, elected on 10 August 2026 with 142 votes (Dawan Africa, 10 August 2026). The directory names Abdullahi Omar Abshir, from South West, as Second Deputy Speaker. It also names the chairs of four committees (House of the People, Members).

The House's 275 seats are shared among clans under the 4.5 formula, not by state. The directory still shows the member state each member is linked to. "Northern regions" is the directory's term (Gobollada Waqooyi) for members chosen for the Somaliland areas. Seat numbers are the directory's own.

Of the 104 members listed, 23 are linked to South West, 17 to Puntland, 17 to the northern regions, 16 to Jubaland, 14 to Hirshabelle, 12 to Galmudug and 1 to Banadir. The directory shows no state for 4 members. These counts reflect only who is in the directory, not the full House.

How to use it

• Find your member: the House directory and the Upper House senators page both have search boxes, and show each member's state and, for the House, seat number.
• Former members: the Upper House keeps a separate list of former senators on the same page.
• Laws and votes: bills, laws and committee reports for the Upper House are on senate.gov.so; the House posts news and documents on parliament.gov.so.

Its legal basis

Articles 55 to 86 of the 2012 Provisional Constitution, as amended in 2024 and 2026, set the size and roles of each house (Provisional Constitution 2012, via Constitute Project).
