The president of Tunisia, officially the president of the Republic of Tunisia (Arabic: رئيس الجمهورية التونسية Reīs ej-Jumhūrīye et-Tūnsīye), is the head of state and head of government of Tunisia. Under Article 77 of the Constitution of Tunisia, the president is also the commander-in-chief of the Tunisian Armed Forces.^[2] The incumbent president is Kais Saied who has held this position since 23 October 2019 following the death of Beji Caid Essebsi on 25 July 2019. The 2022 Tunisian constitutional referendum transformed Tunisia into a presidential republic, giving the president sweeping powers while largely limiting the role of the parliament.
