Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh has been reelected for a sixth term, winning 97.81% of the vote in Friday's election. Guelleh, 78, has ruled the small Horn of Africa nation for over two decades. He faced a single challenger, Mohamed Farah Samatar, a former ruling party member. Analysts say the race offered little genuine competition. Opposition groups often boycott elections, citing restrictions on political freedoms.
