Upper House and North Eastern State Parliament Strengthen Cooperation
The Second Deputy Speaker of the Upper House of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, Hon. Abdullahi Ali Hirsi Timacadde, met on Tuesday with Dr. Adan Abdullahi Aw-Hassan, Speaker of the North Eastern State Parliament, and his accompanying delegation in Mogadishu.
Their discussions centered on a comprehensive briefing from Speaker Aw-Hassan regarding the legislative activities of the North Eastern State Parliament and the political and social developments in the newly formed state.
Both sides explored ways to strengthen collaboration between the Upper House and the North Eastern State Parliament, emphasizing the importance of partnership on key national priorities and shared legislative responsibilities at both federal and state levels.
Dr. Aw-Hassan has been in Mogadishu for several weeks, holding meetings with federal government officials and community leaders as part of ongoing efforts to enhance coordination with national institutions.
In August 2025, Dr. Adan Abdullahi Aw-Hassan was elected Speaker of the North Eastern State Parliament after defeating his challenger, Abdiqafar Dheeliye, who received 29 votes. One ballot was declared invalid, according to the electoral commission.
