# Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 15 May 2022 Somali MPs elected [Hassan Sheikh Mohamud](/people/hassan-sheikh-mohamud) president 214–110 over Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed in a third-round runoff of 327 voting legislators inside a hangar at Halane military camp. He was sworn immediately.

## Context

He ran. 328 MPs were eligible; one did not vote. Farmaajo conceded. He is unresolved. Explosions were heard nearby; police reported no casualties from those blasts.

15 May runoff and oath. Stored as one 15 May 2022 Fact. Keep Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night on 2022-05-15 separate from neighbouring oath, offensive, and federal instruments.

The president of Somalia is head of state and commander-in-chief. He can accept a parliamentary runoff and command SNA operations. He does not write an AUSSOM mandate, and he does not invent a unique Al-Shabaab KIA integer here.

## Evidence and sources

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is electoral integrity: a completed indirect 214–110 runoff behind blast walls, not universal suffrage.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Parliament elected him 214–110 on 15 May 2022. He was sworn immediately.

Not established: A unique KIA from nearby explosions, or that 214–110 is an ODIHR competitive finding.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

MPs tabulated. Sharing the hangar is not a reason to drop 15 May 2022.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night, not a later speech about Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night on 2022-05-15 is not a licence to treat every later Reuters communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Parliament elects Mohamud 214–110; he is sworn the same night into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He won the runoff and accepted the oath. MPs tabulated. Sharing the hangar is not a reason to drop 15 May 2022. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
