The Somali Senate is the upper house of the Federal Parliament of Somalia. It plays a crucial role in the legislative process, representing the interests of the country's federal member states. Senators are elected by the regional assemblies and serve a term of five years, contributing to the development of laws and policies. The Senate consists of 54 members, with each federal member state represented by a specific number of senators. This structure aims to ensure that all regions have a voice in the national government, promoting unity and cooperation among the diverse communities within Somalia.
