Paragraph 9
 
The President is directly elected by secret ballot for a term of five years. A second round of voting is held if none of the candidates received a majority of the votes on election day. The second round of voting is held for the two candidates who received the largest number of votes in the first round. In the second round of voting, the winner is the candidate who receives the largest number of votes, regardless of the number of voters who voted.
