Transitional Federal Parliament

The Transitional Federal Parliament operated from 2004 to 2012 in a large governmental complex within central Mogadishu, serving as Somalia's legislative assembly.

The parliament emerged during Somalia's reconstruction period in 2004, replacing the previous Transitional National Government and establishing new foundations for national governance.

The parliamentary structure incorporated the traditional clan-based representation system through a 4.5 formula, allocating seats among four major Somali clans and minority groups.

The legislative body contained 550 members after 2009, with parliamentary sessions focusing on constitutional development and national security measures during Somalia's transition period.

The parliament mandated a minimum twelve percent female representation requirement, marking an early institutional step toward gender inclusion in Somali national politics.
