2006 Comorian presidential election

Azali Assoumani Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi Member State of the Arab League Presidential elections were held in the Comoros on 16 April and 14 May 2006.

The result was a victory for Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi, who received 58% of the vote in the national election.

In the 10 March primary held on the island of Grande Comore, Azali Assoumani finished first out of a field of nine candidates with 39.81% of the vote.

After a period of political instability that began in the late 1990s and saw the (unrecognized) secession of Anjouan and Mohéli, a new constitution was approved in a December 2001 referendum.

The three candidates who receive the most votes then stand in a nationwide election with a simple plurality needed to win.
