House of Representatives of Puntland or Puntland Parliament (Somali: Gollaha Wakiilada Dawladda Puntland) is the unicameral legislature of the Puntland. It has 66 members who are elected for a period of five years through universal suffrage.[1]

The House of Representatives has the powers and duties to review, approve, reject, amend and create regulations, approve/reject war and implement a peace agreement when the government proposes it. The House of Representatives also elects President of Puntland and Vice President of Puntland.[1]

After the establishment of Puntland, the legislature has been directly elected by the people in 1998, 2004, 2009, 2013 and 2018.[2] On 4 January 2019, the legislature elected a speaker and two deputies. This was followed by the successful election of the President of Puntland on 8 January 2019. Next elections are due to take place in 2023.[3]
