Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh was reelected for a sixth term after official results showed him winning 97.81% of the vote in Friday's election.
Guelleh, 78, has ruled the small Horn of Africa nation of about 1 million for more than two decades.
Last year, the country’s lawmakers scrapped the 75-year age limit for presidential candidates.
Two of the main opposition parties have boycotted elections since 2016, accusing election authorities of lacking impartiality.
