Waddani (Somali: Waddani, Wadani, Wadaani; Arabic: واداني‎) is a political party in Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia.[1][2]

Waddani is one of the three official political parties in the Republic of Somaliland. It was founded in 2012 by a group of politicians led by Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro, who is the sitting speaker of the Somaliland Parliament, and the party's chairman and presidential candidate in the forthcoming election of November 2017. Waddani is a major opposition party, and has strong relations with world and regional bodies such as IGAD and its member states. The party has opposed a plan by the Somaliland government to permit the United Arab Emirates to construct a military base in the territory.[3]
