National-level elections in Djibouti are held for the President and the unicameral National Assembly (Assemblée Nationale).
Djibouti is a one party dominant state with the People's Rally for Progress (RPP) in power. Opposition parties are allowed since the 1992 referendum, but have been represented in parliament only since the 2013 elections. Freedom House considers the recent elections in Djibouti to be "not free". Djibouti also uses the Red Sea as a bases for all of its economic and political decisions for current day and in the future.
Current President, Ismail Omar Guelleh has been in office since May 8, 1999.[1] Guelleh was first elected as President in 1999 as the handpicked successor to his uncle, Hassan Gouled Aptidon, who had ruled Djibouti since independence in 1977. Djibouti has a population of approximately one million with only 176,878 registered to vote.[2] Djibouti has 11 political parties and has re- elections every 6 years since the 1990s when the country's civil war ended.
In the April 2021 elections, Guelleh was re-elected president for his fifth term.[3]
