Muslim leader elected for a further time (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

again

'a further time' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'muslim leader elected' is the wordplay.
'muslim leader' becomes 'aga' (historical term for a Muslim military commander).
'elected' becomes 'in'.
'aga'+'in'='AGAIN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for again that I've seen before include "Repeatedly" , "Not for the first time" , "Predictably perhaps" , "Furthermore" , "Moreover - a second time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
