Political career
[edit]Dhoinine won the 2010 Comorian presidential election, in which he received the most votes in the first round (28.19%). He faced Mohamed Said Fazul and Abdou Djabir in a run-off election[2] and received 61.12% to win the Presidency. A member of the ruling party, Dhoinine was supported in the election by incumbent President Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi. Previously, he had worked in the Ministry of Finance as the Vice-President in charge of Budget and Women's Entrepreneurship.[3] From 26 March to 31 March 2008, he was the provisional President of Anjouan, an island in the Comoros.[4]
Dhoinine, a pharmacist by training, is the first President of Comoros from the island of Mohéli.[5]
Dhoinine served for five years as Vice President to outgoing president Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi.[6] He was also temporarily President of Anjouan in March 2008.[7] He was briefly Minister of Finance from June 2009 to June 2010.[8]
At his inauguration Dhoinine pledged to "stop at nothing in the fight against corruption".[6] He initiated the National Commission for the Prevention and Fight Against Corruption and the Regulatory Authority for Public Procurement to increase transparency.[9]
In 2013, Dhoinine was subject of a failed coup d'état due to discontent over the dismissal of several government officials.[10]
Dhoinine's wife is Hadidja Abubacarr I'Dhoinine.[11]
