Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh wins sixth term with 97.81% of vote in landslide election

  Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh has secured a sixth term in office after winning 97.81% of the vote in Friday’s election, according to official results.

Guelleh, 78, has led the small Horn of Africa nation for more than two decades, governing a country of roughly 1 million people. Last year, lawmakers removed presidential age limits, clearing the way for him to remain in power.

Election officials said the vote was peaceful, with supporters gathering at the presidential palace on Saturday to celebrate the outcome.

Guelleh faced only one challenger, Mohamed Farah Samatar, a former member of the ruling party, in a contest widely seen by analysts as lacking meaningful competition. Opposition groups in Djibouti have often boycotted elections, citing limits on political freedoms.

He came to power in 1999 after succeeding his uncle, former President Hassan Gouled Aptidon, continuing a political system that has remained under the same leadership family for decades.

Djibouti holds strategic importance due to its location along a key shipping route connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is also home to several foreign military bases, including installations operated by the United States, China, France, and Japan. Revenue from these agreements, along with port operations serving landlocked Ethiopia, forms a major part of the country’s economy.
