Forum for National Parties
The Forum for National Parties (Madasha Xisbiyada Qaran) is an alliance of political parties in Somalia founded in October 2019. The alliance includes Himilo Qaran party, led by former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, and Peace and Development Party led by former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Other key leaders joining the coalition include Ilays party leader Abdulkadir Osoble, former South West President Sharif Hassan and former defense minister Mohamed Abdi, the first interim president of Jubaland.

The alliance has been formed ahead of the 2020 Somali elections, when for the first time since 1969 Somalia was set to hold one man one vote elections. Reconciliation and dialogue between the federal government and federal member states will be critical to making further progress on political, security and economic reforms. The parties have agreed to work together to resolve Somalia's the political and security issues. This is a step in the right direction that will contribute to the process of political democratization of Somalia with the goal of safeguarding the sovereignty, unity and independence of the republic of Somalia.
