Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who served as Somalia’s president between 2012 and 2017, won the contest in the capital, Mogadishu, amid a security lockdown imposed by authorities to prevent deadly rebel attacks.
Supporters greeted the result by cheering and firing guns in the air around the capital Mogadishu after three rounds of voting throughout the day by politicians in a heavily guarded airport hangar.
Information reads: "BREAKING: Hassan Sheikh Mohamud elected President of #Somalia after defeating President Mohamed Farmaajo by 215 votes to 109 in the third round of the presidential election. Celebratory gunfire erupts in Mogadishu. #SomaliaElections2022."
