The Peace and Development Party (PDP, Somali: Xisbiga Nabadda Iyo Horumarka) was 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] The party's leadership also has ties with Al-Islah, Somalia's branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.[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.
