Halima first vied for the Galole parliamentary seat in 1983 while still a teenager and came second. As a young Oromo (Borana) girl, that was unheard of. Before she resigned to join politics, she worked in the provincial administration as a District Officer. Her experience in the provincial administration made her a competent peace campaigner and negotiator. She would like to help her constituents gain access to water, bursaries and scholarships for learners and improved healthcare.
Halima Ware Duri has spoken 59 times in Parliament.
