President Said Abdullahi Deni has been chosen again as the leader of Puntland, a part of Somalia, after having arguments about the election for many months.
He got 45 votes from Puntland’s parliament members on Monday and was voted back.
Guled Salah Barre got 21 votes, and Abshir Omar Jama came in third place.
Mr Deni was quickly inaugurated for his second time in office.
In Puntland, like in the rest of Somalia, elections are held in a different way. The clan elders choose the MPs and then the MPs choose the president.
The vote happened after there were arguments and fights, and some people got hurt or killed.
In Garowe last year, 26 people died in fights between Mr. Deni’s supporters and the opposition. The fights were because of a plan to have a vote, but that plan is not happening now.
