2017 Somaliland presidential election

Presidential elections were held on 13 November 2017, the third direct presidential election since 2003. General elections had been scheduled to be held on 27 March 2017 to elect both the President and House of Representatives, but were postponed by six months due to the drought condition in the region. The elections to elect the President and Vice President were eventually held separately on 13 November. Incumbent President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud of the Peace, Unity, and Development Party did not run for a second term.
The result was a victory for ruling Kulmiye party candidate Muse Bihi Abdi, who received 55% of the vote.
