In 1946, he was named Secretary of the party's section in [[Beledweyne]], Somalia. In 1951, the Mudug Regional Council appointed him for the Regional Council, and two years later, he became Vice President of the Regional Council. From 1954 until 1956, he was the President of the [[Somali Youth League]]. He was re-elected in May 1958, and he continued to hold this position simultaneously along with that of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly until 1960. Osman Daar was born in Beledweyne, [[Somalia]]. He studied at government schools, and worked as a community organizer. Somalia was [[Scramble for Africa|colonized]] by the [[Kingdom of Italy|Italian government]] from 1889 to 1941. From 1929 to 1941, he served in the Italian Colonial Administration advocating for Somalia's independence from colonization. He was a proponent for the unity of all Somalis. In 1960, Osman Daar garnered national attention, and won the favor of the Somali people. He was formally and democratically elected as the first president of Somalia on 1 July 1960, on which date the [[United Nations]] recognised Somalia's independence, and subsequently united with the former [[British protectorate]] of [[British Somaliland]], which had already obtained its independence on 26 June 1960. His administration was focused on dismantling the legacy of colonialism and fostering unity among the Somali people.
