Sepp Blatter has been re-elected unopposed for a fourth term as president of football's world governing body, FIFA.
The 75-year-old Swiss, who has run FIFA since 1998, received 186 of the 203 votes cast.
Mr Blatter told delegates he was honoured and deeply moved, and said FIFA can now go forward with unity.
His opponent, Mohamed bin Hammam, withdrew his candidacy on Sunday amid a cash-for-votes scandal. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) head, who was barred from entering the Congress hall, was subsequently suspended, along with fellow executive committee member Jack Warner, pending further investigations by FIFA's ethics committee.
Before the vote, Mr Blatter said he would propose changes to the way World Cup hosts are elected and promised that FIFA would be tougher on wrongdoers.
He said the ethics committee must be strengthened. "A new code of ethics is also a code for good personal conduct as well," he said.
Earlier, the Congress rejected a proposal from the English Football Association to postpone the election.
