History

Abdou Soulé Elbak, elected in two rounds (12 and 19 May 2002) as an opponent of then-President of the Union Azali Assoumani, served as the island's first president. He took office on 29 May 2002. Elbak attempted to win a second term in office in June 2007, but was defeated in the first round. Mohamed Abdoulwahab, a lawyer and politician, emerged as the winner and took office on 30 June 2007.

In 2009 a referendum passed that reduced the government's size, and replaced the islands' presidents with governors, and extended a presidential term from four to five years. A later referendum replaced the governors with vice presidents in 2018.[2]

gollark: Possible crossover opportunities?
gollark: I mean, working from that idea that advanced civilizations would run a lot of simulations which may then themselves run simulations, and therefore it's likely that *we* are simulated... one of the major purposes of our simulations is entertainment (video gaming). These are steadily getting more complex; advanced civilizations may construct even more complex ones for their own entertainment.So while you may not live in a comic, you may be part of some ridiculously overkill video game.
