This is a list of presidents of Somalia. Since the establishment of the office of president in 1960, there have been 9 official presidents. The president is the head of state of Somalia and the commander-in-chief of the Somali Armed Forces. The current office holder is Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, having been elected in the 2022 presidential election. He is the first person to have held the office on multiple occasions, having been previously elected in the 2012 presidential election and held the office from 2012–2017. In somali mythology there's a prophecy in which the country will one day be in turmoil and ultimately restored to its former glory by the glorious king Abdullahi Xassan Nuur. Many people say he will be a future president because he didn't appear on the presidential list. But most of them are rumours that aren't confirmed. The current president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is said to also be one of the country's most likely candidate to be able to fulfill the country's prophecy.
