How the 275 parliament seats were divided

[mohamedismail]

Most Dir seats are in Somaliland. Isaaq alone got like half at 28, Sameroon 9, Cisse 8 that's 45 out of 61 in whole of Somalia. The last 16 is scattered everywhere.


Raxanweyne have the most representation but their politicians are utterly powerless and most of their territory owned by Al-Shabaab.

That's not true. Not all of the 69 seats of SWS are even D&M, some are Daarood, some are hawiye some are Dir and some are Beesha Shanaad.

 

[Removed]

The reason why South west state gets so much seats is because majority of the 61 D&M seats are concentrated in SWS. Whereas Daarood seats are divided into Puntland, Jubbaland and Galmudug. Hawiye seats are divided into Galmudug, Hirshabeele, Banaadir and SWS. Dir seats are divided into basically all states as well.

I am personally not a fan of this. I think more Digil iyo mirifle seats should of been transferred to jubbaland to even it out a bit.

That would just result in more D&M being handpicked from Kismayo/Garbaharey.

You should want as many as possible picked from Baydhabo so you can organize your weight politically. If KG had a port it could have been a superpower.

Yes that's probably why the D&M politicians rather majority of the seats to SWS. Ahmed Madoobe will probably just pick Yes men to represent D&M which would be a huge disadvantage.

Hawiye will gain a lot more seats. Because they will xoog all of mogadishu seats.

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

The 275 was a temporary placeholder till elections could be held, if ever, where then districts and population size shall determine seats in the House of Parliament. Till then, it is just waffle.

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

Census will be held around late 2024-2025 then we can determine exactly how many parliamentary seats will be allocated per district

Any ideas how Senatorial seats will be divided?

I’m not sure but I personally believe it should also be divided by population after the census each federal member state should be given an adequate amount of senators based on population

 

[cow]

First how will census be done in somaliland/puntland and all those places that al shabaab controls. Secondly how do you make sure hawiye won't use xoog to steal all of mogadishu seats ? And select all hawiye.

 

[Mudug_gyal]

Why does somaliland get 46 seats? I thought they were independent?

If senatorial seats are tied to population then should bare minimum number of senators be set as a requirement for states?

Lets say 200k ppl per senator. And to form a state you need at least 3 senators.

I'd like to see a system where there is

1. District
   • 50 000 ppl
   • 1 MP
2. Senator
   • Four adjacent districts elect one Senator
   • 200k ppl per seat
3. FMS
   • Three senators minimum
   • Every state has a minimum of 600k ppl.

Would stop a lot of isqabqabsi. Gather 600k and form a state.

The whole federal thing was to create the illusion of unity when the country was already broken up.

Realistically, of the following 71 districts, which ones could the Fed. gov't, and allied FMSs hold 1M1V elections in Jun. 2024? Or in 2025?

Do bear in mind, before Federal elections (Presidential) could be held, District Council and Parliamentary elections ought to be held in FMSs.

Senate seats: 18 * 3 = 54.

SL is one of the 4 major tribes (Dir), and is represented in the Federal House of Parliament, and Senate.

Maya adeer I think its unfair that they get majority seats under magaca dir when they dont even claim to be dir. ask any issaq person they will tell you.

Ayeeyo, the youngins in the diaspora might deny, no less even being Somali, but elders know better, and do admit to it. It become more pronounced in the days of Goojacadde.

The idea was originally floated by the UN in the 90s, but it has not materialised, but it has recently been discussed by some in SL post SSC-Khatumo interim Admin, but that ship has sailed, with the FGS now in its place, as faulty as it is. The FGS has been a costly project, and I doubt reer PL are interested in political adventurism any more.

Puntland first is all I'm hearing.

Puntland will push for Confederation it seems. SSc is silent because they go where the wind takes them.

Somaliland won't entertain Puntland and definitely not push for some kind of deal. Our borders are inherited not based on expediency. We wish them well on their journey.
