276 members listed

The House of the People roster is sourced from the official Federal Parliament member directory (Tier A), one dated source per member, with the federal member state each card lists shown as the region. Somalia's 2022 Parliament was elected through clan-based electoral colleges under the 4.5 power-sharing formula rather than party lists, so most members have no recorded party; party and gender are shown only where an encyclopedic source (Tier B) records them. The official roster carries 276 cards including one seat marked vacant; all are kept, none invented. Contact details the official page exposes are not republished here for safety; the official source link reaches them.

The 54-seat Senate roster is sourced from the official Upper House site senate.gov.so (Tier A), which publishes all 54 senators with photos; names use the official Somali transliteration. The official page does not list each senator's federal member state or party, and the 2022 Parliament was not elected on party lists, so region and party stay source required except where a verified profile records them. No members are invented.
