Djibouti's Guelleh Wins Sixth Presidential Term with Near-Total Vote Share

Saturday, 11 April 2026, 16:23 · 1 min read

Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh has been re-elected for a sixth consecutive term, securing 97.81% of the vote in the April 10 presidential election. The 78-year-old leader has governed the small Horn of Africa nation of roughly one million people for over two decades. His continued rule was made possible after lawmakers removed presidential age limits last year, clearing a key legal obstacle to his candidacy.
