Would this be more appropriately title 'Djibouti presidential election, 2005', like United States presidential election, 2008, etc.? Bsimmons666 (Talk) 17:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Precedent from other recent election articles has them titled like this, see the articles in Category:2008 elections in Africa and Category:2008 elections in Asia for instance. It is also the recommended style in the Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Elections policy. Davewild (talk) 18:04, 21 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
