The Peace and Development Party (PDP, Somali : Xisbiga Nabadda Iyo Horumarka) is a political party in Somalia. It was established in April 2011 by Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, the President of Somalia from 2012 to 2017. [1] PDP members unanimously elected him as the party's Chairman in April 2011, with a mandate to serve as leader for the next three years. [2] However, Mahmoud resigned from the party on 22 December 2016, launching the similarly named Union for Peace and Development Party. [3] The party's leadership also has ties with Al-Islah, Somalia's branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. [4]
The party claims conservative and Islamist views. [3]
In October 2019, the PDP joined the Forum for National Parties, an alliance of Somali political parties which have agreed to work together to resolve Somalia's political and security issues.[ citation needed ]
