Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (Somali; Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud; born 29 November 1955)[1] is a Somali politician who has served as the president of Somalia since May 2022.[2] He is the founder and current chairman of the Union for Peace and Development Party. He was indirectly elected as President of the Federal Republic of Somalia on 15 May 2022, defeating the incumbent president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. He previously served as the 8th president of Somalia from 2012 to 2017. A civil and political rights activist, Hassan was previously a university professor and dean at SIMAD University, which he co-founded.[3]
In April 2013, Hassan was named in the Time 100, Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. His efforts at advancing national reconciliation, anti-corruption measures, and socio-economic and security sector reforms in Somalia were cited as reasons for the selection.[4] He was born in Jalalaqsi, an agricultural town situated in central Hiran in present-day Somalia, during the trusteeship period,[5][6] and comes from a middle-class background.[7] Hassan is married to Qamar Ali Omar and has seven children.[8]
