i think it depends on clans. Some may have some kind of election, others have hereditary garaads

I will make a separate thread for this taariikh but there is some guidance by a guy who acquired ugaas status within my clan without being from reer ugaas.

Garaadtooyo is inherited, and not selected* in the traditional sense; the same applies to the Boqor, Suldaan, Islam etc.

* There is a bit of selection involved in that if the current Garaad sires 5 sons, then his immediate family will have to select one of the sons as the next Garaad, albeit the incumbent Garaad tends to mentor, coach, and prepare one of the sons as his successor.

This is a good reference for your query.
The history of the SSC Garaado (600 - 800 years old with Garaad Shirshoore being the first)

I.

II.

The history of the Makhir Sultanate (Garaad Dhidhin was crowned in 1298 AD).

SultanPeriod of Reign

Gerad Siciid1392–1409
Gerad Ahmed1409–1430
Gerad Siciid II1430–1450
Gerad Mohamud II1450–1479
Gerad Ciise II1479–1487
Gerad Omar1487–1495
Gerad Ali Dable1491–1503
Gerad Liban1503–1525
Gerad Yuusuf1525–1555
Gerad Mohamud III1555–1585
Gerad Abdale1585–1612
Gerad Ali1612–1655
Gerad Mohamud IV1655–1675
Gerad Naleye1675–1705
Gerad Mohamed1705–1750
Gerad Ali1750–1789
Gerad Mohamud Ali1789–1830
Gerad Aul1830–1870
Gerad Ali Shire1870–1897
Sultan Mohamoud Ali Shire1897–1960
Sultan Abdul Sallan1960–1997
Sultan Siciid Sultan Abdisalaan

You will notice it is based on inheritance from the father to the son, with exceptions, where a brother might assume the Garaadship at the passing of the current Garaad, if a son is not quite ready to step up.

You will also notice Suldaan Maxamuud Cali Shire switched the title from Garaad to Suldaan.

There are others such as Saldanada Garaad Wiilwaal of Somali Galbeed, Boqortooyada Bari etc., but you get the gist of it.
