Lists of office-holders
Members of Somalia's Transitional Federal Parliament, 2004
Somalia's Transitional Federal Parliament was formed at the Kenya peace talks in 2004, with 275 seats shared among clans. Its member list was first published on 29 August 2004, and the members were to serve until 2009. This page gives the 278 names in Wikipedia's copy of that list, numbered as there.
In short
The Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP) was the legislature of Somalia's Transitional Federal Government, set up at the peace conference held in Kenya in 2004 (Wikipedia, Transitional Federal Parliament). See The Transitional Federal Parliament, 2004 to 2012 and Transitional governments, 2000 to 2012.
Its list of members was first published on 29 August 2004, and the members were to serve until 2009 (Wikipedia, List of members of the Somali Transitional Federal Parliament). Wikipedia's list cites the published document "Selected Members of the Transitional Federal Parliament of Somalia (275) 29.08.2004 – 2009" (Somali civil society, PDF, archived). That copy numbers 278 entries, because some seats changed hands after 2004 and editors added the later holders; where Wikipedia adds a note (a cabinet post, a later office, or a community), it is shown in the third column.
Members who later held the top offices, such as Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, who was elected president by this parliament in October 2004, are covered in Lists of office-holders. For the parliaments that followed, see Members of the 10th Federal Parliament (2016) and Members of the House of the People (2022).
How the seats were shared
Members were selected through traditional clan leaders or shura councils, and seats were shared under the "4.5" formula: one share each for the four major clans and a half share for a coalition of other clans (Wikipedia, Transitional Federal Parliament, citing the CIA World Factbook). The parliament elected the president and prime minister and could propose and pass laws (same source). After the 2008–2009 unity agreement with the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia, the number of seats was raised to 550, of which 75 were reserved for business people and civil society (same source). The Federal Parliament replaced it on 20 August 2012 (same source). Names below are spelled as on Wikipedia's list; "Hon." is dropped.
