2025 Comorian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in the Comoros on 12 January 2025, with a re-run in 30 January 2025 that followed a Supreme Court because of procedural irregularities.

Electoral system

The 33 seats in the Assembly of the Union are elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system. The voting age in the Comoros is 18, with voting being optional.

Campaign

Some opposition parties boycotted the election, including the Juwa Party of former president Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi, which had previously boycotted the 2020 election. On Mohéli, only one of the island's five constituencies was contested due to the boycotts.

Results

The ruling Convention for the Renewal of the Comoros of President Azali Assoumani retained a majority in the Assembly after winning 28 out of 33 seats in the first round, according to election results announced on 14 January. One opposition candidate was also elected. Nour El Fath Azali, the 39-year-old son of President Assoumani and secretary general of the government since July 2024, was elected in the 28th constituency (Hambou) with over 78% of votes cast according to results published by the Independent Electoral Commission. The final results were to be announced by the Supreme Court on 22 January. The results in the constituencies Nº12 Domoni 1, Nº14 Domoni 3, Nº17 Nioumakélé 3 and Nº25 Itsandra South were annulled by the Supreme Court, with a re-run scheduled for 30 January 2025.
