Abdirahman Saylici
Abdirahman Abdillahi Ismail Saylici (Somali: Cabdiraxmaan Cabdilaahi Ismaaciil Saylici, Arabic: عبد الرحمن عبد الله إسماعيل زيلعي) (born 28 October 1956) is a Somaliland politician and former businessman who served as 5th Vice President of Somaliland from 2010 to 2024, after winning the election of 2010 together with Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Silanyo. He continued as vice president in the cabinet of Muse Bihi Abdi. Both are members of the Peace, Unity, and Development Party (Kulmiye Party).
Abdirahman was born on 28 October 1956 in Zeila, then British Somaliland (now Somaliland). He is from the Gadabuursi clan.
He completed his primary and intermediate education in Borama, the capital of the western Awdal region after which he then moved to Hargeisa to pursue his higher education. He attended the Hargeisa Technical Institute between 1975 and 1979 where he graduated as a construction engineer.
Before entering politics, Abdirahman was a businessman. He ran Borama Construction Company (BCC), which contributed to the building of many regions of Somaliland between 1980 and 2002.
In 2003 Abdirahman joined the Kulmiye party.
In 2008, the terms of the president and vice president would came to an end, the opposition party Kulmiye proceeded with selecting its presidential and vice presidential candidates, and Saylici became one of vice presidential candidates.
On 2 May 2008, a ceremony was held in Saylac to mark the creation of the new “Selel” regional administration. Among the attendees were government ministers, local officials, and delegations from Djibouti and Yemen, as well as Kulmiye vice-chairman and vice-presidential candidate Abdirahman Abdillahi Ismail Saylici, who led a Samaroon (Gadabuursi) delegation. The event drew about a thousand participants and was reported amid concerns that clan competition in the drought-affected area could create local tensions if not fairly managed.
In August 2008, several politicians from the Awdal region competed within the Kulmiye party for the position of vice-presidential candidate. By September, the competition had narrowed to two figures, Saylici and Abdirahman Aw Ali Farrah. Later reports indicated that the party unified behind Saylici as the sole nominee for the vice-presidential position.
