Overview
The Tayo Political Party was established in early 2012 by former Prime Minister of Somalia and President of Somalia, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmajo), and members of his erstwhile Cabinet. The association was dubbed Tayo ("Quality") on account of the generally favorable reputation that his administration earned during its brief tenure.
According to Mohamed, the party's primary agenda revolves around delivering services to Somalia's general population and encouraging the repatriation of Somali diasporans so as to assist in the ongoing post-conflict reconstruction process. Since stepping down from office, he has reportedly been campaigning in various global destinations to amass support for his new party, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Sweden. On April 2, 2012, Maryam Qaasim, the former Minister of Women's Affairs in Mohamed's Cabinet, was elected Chairperson of the TPP. Mohamed is serving as the party's Secretary-General. In the Somali presidential election of 2017, Mohamed was elected President of Somalia.
