Ismail Omar Guelleh, Djibouti’s Long-Term president wins sixth term after elections on Friday.
Mr Guelleh won 97,81 percent against his competitor.
His sole opponent, Mohamed Farah Samatar, earned just 2.19 percent of votes.
Samatar’s Unified Democratic Centre (CDU) opposition party has no seats in parliament, and he struggled to gain recognition ahead of the polls.
Politicians last year removed presidential age limits, allowing him to seek another five years in power.
Voter turnout was 80.4 percent on Friday, according to Djibouti media outlets. Roughly a quarter of the population – about 256,000 people – were registered to vote.
Guelleh has ruled Djibouti’s population of roughly one million since 1999.
