The Justice and Welfare Party (Template:Langx, UCID; Template:Langx), sometimes translated as the Justice and Welfare Association, and also known as For Justice and Development, was the oldest political party in Somaliland. The party tended to be supported by people from the Cidagale and Garxajis[4] and some sub-clans of the Isaaq.[5]
UCID was founded in 2001 by Somaliland politician Faysal Ali Warabe, with its program being inspired by that of the Finnish Social Democratic Party.[1] Waraabe also served as its Chairman.[6] The party had been described as the only one at a national level that adhered to a specific political ideology.[7]
Based in Hargeisa, the political party came in third place during the 2003 Somaliland presidential election, receiving 16% of the votes.[6]
In the parliamentary elections held on 29 September 2005, the party won 26.9% of the vote and 21 out of 82 seats.
In the 2024 Somaliland national political party elections, the party came in 7th place. As a result of this it lost its official status as only 3 political parties are allowed to exist and contest regular elections in Somaliland. It was replaced by the Kaah party.
