Djibouti is governed under a constitution adopted in 1992, which has since been amended. The president serves as head of state and government and is elected for a five-year term with no term limits. The National Assembly, comprising 65 members, is the legislative body. Although the constitution provides for multiparty politics, power is tightly held by the president, Ismail Omar Guelleh, his party, the Popular Assembly for Progress (Rassemblement Populaire pour le Progrès; RPP), and the Union for the Presidential Majority (Union pour la Majorité Présidentielle; UMP) coalition, which includes the RPP.
