The president of Syria (Arabic: رئيس سوريا, romanized: Raʾīs Sūriyā) is the head of state of Syria. The president is vested with sweeping powers that may be delegated, at his sole discretion, to his vice presidents. The president appoints and dismisses the prime minister and other members of the Council of Ministers (the cabinet) and military officers.[1]
The position became vacant on 8 December 2024, when Bashar al-Assad was overthrown following the success of the 2024 Syrian opposition offensives.[2] The duties of the head of state were conducted by a transitional government led by Mohammed al-Bashir in the role of prime minister. Ahmed al-Sharaa was named transitional president on 29 January 2025, after having acted as the de facto leader following the fall of the Assad regime.[3][4]
