According to the 2012 constitution, the president of Syria (Arabic: رئيس سوريا) is the head of state of Syria. They are vested with sweeping powers that may be delegated, at their sole discretion, to their vice presidents. They appoint and dismiss the prime minister and other members of the Council of Ministers (the cabinet) and military officers.[1]
The position has been vacant since 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 are currently being conducted by a transitional government led by Mohammed al-Bashir in the role of prime minister. Ahmed al-Sharaa has been acting as the de facto leader of Syria since the transitional government was established.
