On February 13, 2009, he was nominated by President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed as the new Prime Minister of Somalia's transitional government . The transitional parliament elected him to this office with 414 votes to 9.

The reasons for choosing Sharmarke include his clan membership (according to the constitution, the president, prime minister and speaker of parliament must belong to three different large clans, and the Majerteen-Darod left the government with the resignation of President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed ), his connections to the Somali diaspora and to the United Nations as well as the fact that he was never involved in the Somalia civil war .

Sharmarke named improving the humanitarian situation, returning internally displaced people to their hometowns and reconciliation with opponents of the transitional government as priorities.

Sharmarke's appointment was condemned by al-Shabaab . Sharmarke called for reconciliation and the creation of unity in Somalia. On September 21, 2010, Sharmarke resigned, citing a crisis in the government and the increasing insecurity in Somalia.
