Presidential elections will be held in Djibouti by April 2026. While term limits have been scrapped in 2010 following a constitutional reform, incumbent president Ismaïl Omar Guelleh who won a fifth term in 2021, having been president since 1999 is ineligible for a sixth term due to the age limit of 75 that Guelle imposed on the reform. Thus, the election will be the first where Guelleh's name won't appear on the ballot.
Background
Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, the president since 1999, was re-elected five times, most recently in 2021. While scrapping term limits in a 2010 constitutional reform, Guelleh also imposed an age limit of 75. Thus, he cannot run again in 2026 and that this term is his final term.
