The 2010 elections were limited to Moh\u00e9lian candidates and the 2016 elections saw candidates from Grand Comore contest the elections.[3] The next presidential election would have seen a president elected from Anjouan.However, a constitutional referendum in July 2018 saw voters approve constitutional amendments that scrapped the rotation system and instituted a standard two-round system in which a candidate has to receive a majority of the vote in the first round to be elected, with a second round held if no candidate is able to win in the first round.[1] The changes also moved the next presidential elections forward to 2019 and allowed incumbent President Azali Assoumani run for a second term.[4]The referendum led to violent protests and an armed uprising in Anjouan in October 2018, which was stopped by the military after several days.[5]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Candidates[edit]A total of 20 candidates registered to contest the elections, with the Supreme Court determining the final list of eligible participants.[6] Incumbent President Assoumani ran for reelection, whilst other candidates attempting to register included the two losing candidates from the nationwide vote in 2016 (Mohamed Ali Soilihi and Mouigni Baraka) and Salim Saadi, who contested the 2016 primary elections as an independent.[6] Seven of the 20 applicants were rejected, including the main opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Soul\u00e9.[7]Approved candidatesCandidatePartyNotesMahamoud AhamadaIndependentLawyer to former President Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed SambiAzali AssoumaniConvention for the Renewal of the ComorosIncumbent PresidentSaid Djaffar ElmacelyIndependentHassani HamadiIndependentGovernor of Grande ComoreFahmi Said IbrahimIndependentHamidou KarihilaIndependentFormer Secretary of State for the Arab Worldm, ex-CRCSa\u00efd LarifouIndependentLeader of the RIDJA partyAli MhadjiIndependentMP for Hambou, ex-CRCIbrahim Ali MzimbaIndependentPresident of the Bar AssociationSalim SaadiIndependentEntrepreneurAchmet Sa\u00efdIndependentDean of the Faculty of Science and TechnologyMohamed Ali SoilihiUnion for the Development of the ComorosMohamed SoilihiIndependentFormer Chief of Staff of the Comorian ArmyMouigni Baraka Sa\u00efd SoilihiIndependentFormer Governor of Grande ComoreRejected candidatesBourhane AbdallahIndependentEntrepreneurYoussouf BoinaIndependentMoustoifa Sa\u00efd CheikhDemocratic FrontSoilihi Mohamed SoilihiIndependentFormer ambassador to the United StatesZile SoilihIndependentIbrahim Mohamed Soul\u00e9Juwa PartySource: Al-WatwanResults[edit]CandidatePartyVotes%Azali AssoumaniConvention for the Renewal of the Comoros96,63560.77Mahamoud AhamadaIndependent23,23314.61Mouigni Baraka Sa\u00efd SoilihiIndependent8,8515.57Mohamed SoilihiIndependent6,1103.84Hamidou KarihilaIndependent3,8802.44Fahmi Said IbrahimIndependent3,7822.38Hassani HamadiIndependent3,5762.25Sa\u00efd LarifouIndependent3,3682.12Achmet Sa\u00efdIndependent3,3262.09Ibrahim Ali MzimbaIndependent2,1851.37Ali MhadjiIndependent1,4840.93Said Djaffar ElmacelyIndependent1,4740.93Salim SaadiIndependent1,1040.69Total159,008100.00Valid votes159,00895.53Invalid\/blank votes7,4394.47Total votes166,447100.00Registered voters\/turnout309,13753.84Source: CENI[permanent dead link]Aftermath[edit]Following the election, the fourth-placed candidate Mohamed Soilihi called for the results to be invalidated and for a campaign of civil disobedience.
