About this election
The electoral system
The president is elected by direct universal suffrage in a two-round system: an absolute majority is required to win in the first round, failing which the two leading candidates contest a run-off two weeks later. The term is five years, renewable once consecutively. Because the presidential election sets the tone for the legislative elections that follow weeks later, its outcome shapes the entire five-year political cycle.
