Mohamed Warsama Ragueh (Somali: Maxamed Warsame Raage) is a Djiboutian lawyer and former judge. He was the president of the Constitutional Council and a candidate in the 2011 presidential election. He could only secure 19% of the vote losing to Ismail Omar Guelleh who won 80% of the votes.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Djibouti's opposition coalitions boycotted the election, saying it would not be free and fair,[8] leaving only President Guelleh and Ragueh, who had served as President of Djibouti's Constitutional Council in 2005.[9][10] Ragueh complained about irregularities in the voting.[11]
