Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Thursday met with the newly elected members of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) at the Presidential Palace in Mogadishu.
The meeting followed Wednesday’s election by the Federal Parliament, which selected nine lawmakers to represent Somalia in the regional assembly — a key milestone in the country’s deeper integration into the East African Community (EAC), less than a year after joining the bloc.
He urged the EALA members to demonstrate strong leadership, professionalism, and patriotism, emphasizing the importance of amplifying Somalia’s voice and influence within the East African Legislative Assembly.
The nine lawmakers elected to represent Somalia at EALA are: Hussein Hassan Mohamed, Ilhaan Ali Gasar, Faysal Abdi Roble, Abdisalaam Hadliye, Abdirahman Bashir Sharif, Fahma Ahmed Nur, Fadumo Abdullahi, Abukar Mardaadi, and Sahra Ali Hassan.
