'Solidarity'), is a political party in Somaliland. The party was founded by Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud "Silanyo" in May 2002,[4] ahead of the first municipal elections later that year. The party is mainly supported by people from the Habr Je'lo, Habr Awal[5] and Darod clans.[6] In the presidential elections of 14 April 2003, its candidate Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud "Silanyo" won 42.1% of the popular vote.
