Exercises the interim of the presidency · 7 Feb 2026 – present[2][4][5]
The office of President is vacant. The Transitional Presidential Council's mandate ended on 7 February 2026 without a presidential election and it handed its powers to the Council of Ministers and the Prime Minister. The arrangement is not an elected presidency: it rests on the 2024 transition agreement and on the National Pact for Stability and the Organisation of Elections signed on 21-22 February 2026. Three council members stayed away from the handover, and some members had announced a three-member presidential college that was never installed.
