2026 Djiboutian presidential election

Summary

Presidential elections were held in Djibouti on 10 April 2026. Incumbent fifth term president Ismaïl Omar Guelleh was re-elected to a sixth term, having been president since 1999. Originally ineligible for a sixth term due to an age limit of 75, a constitutional amendment was passed in 2025 that allowed him to run again. Most of the opposition parties either boycotted the election or decided to support Guelleh.
