Recently removed from list

Could we get a section at the bottom called 'Recently removed from list'?

It would be interesting to see what rulers had been voted out, deposed, term-limited, died, etc... in the recent past (last 1-2 years).

Recent and upcoming ledaers

Should a note be added to record that Ibrahim Iskandar of Johor is the son of a previous Yang di-Pertuan Agong? It looks like this isn't normally done for hereditary heads of state in this list, but the position is elective/rotational, so not every holder will be the son of a previous one as not all of those eligible will live long enough for their turn to come around. Any thoughts? 217.155.59.206 (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Should a note be added to record that Prabowo Subianto is the son-in-law of former President Suharto? Or is that not significant enough as a relationship? Seems very pertinent in the context of Indonesian politics. 217.155.59.206 (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Should Nayib Bukele be moved (temporarily and with a note explaining the circumstances) to the 'upcoming' list, while keeping Claudia Rodríguez de Guevara in the main list for the time being? Not a straightforward case I know, but without context it looks odd to have a president and acting president for the same country both in the same list.217.155.59.206 (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

None of these family notes should be in the article, it's WP:TRIVIA. If someone wants to write an article around the prevalence of political dynasties and/or lesser nepobabies in politics, they should do that. Therequiembellishere (talk) 05:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Gabriel

"The first day he could give the exploratory mandate to GERB was Wednesday. According to the Constitution, GERB should receive it as the first political force in the current parliament. Once she receives it, she will have seven days to return it to the president with a cabinet proposal. If it fails to form a government, the mandate will go to the party next in terms of votes - PP-DB. If the second attempt to form a government is also unsuccessful, the third mandate is given to a party of the president's choice. In case she also fails to fulfill the mandate, Radev appoints a caretaker government whose main task is to organize early parliamentary elections."

Chad President Accession Date

It says that Mahamat Déby became the President of Chad on 10 May 2024. But then in reality, it is 23 May. Can someone please change the accession date of Déby from 10 to 23 May so that there will be no confusion, thanks. 219.77.28.65 (talk) 12:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

New co-prince of Andorra

There will be a new co-prince of Andorra as of 24 July 2024.

Mtminchi08 (talk) 02:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

We don't know when the old Bishop/co-Prince will resign and thus when the new one will be appointed. The article only says that the current Bishp will turn 75 on 24 JulyShacharrz (talk) 07:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

It's just a list article, should we change to "none" as short description? 193.203.70.30 (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Maduro/Gonzalez

I see Edmundo Gonzalez is listed as being inaugurated on January 10, 2025. Given that the Venezuelan election conflict is still ongoing, I don't see this as accurate Dorfulate (talk) 22:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Why isn't Mohammed al-Bashir on the list? He is the transitional prime minister, but do transitionals really count? G0dzillaboy02 (talk) 11:13, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Why is Beat Jans listed, not the current (newly elected) President Karin Keller-Sutter? Has Jans ever been more important than the other Federal Councilors?--79.251.244.96 (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Karin Keller-Sutter is listed under 1 January 2019 - that is when she joined the Federal Council. Her term as president is included. Mtminchi08 (talk) 05:43, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Mozambique Prime Minister + other countries

Please note that despite the existence of an office called "Prime Minister", the President of Mozambique is actually both the Head of State and Head of Government. Moreover, as the President of the Assembly of the Republic of Mozambique is ex-officio designated as the country's Deputy Head of State, the position titled as "Prime Minister of Mozambique" is merely that of a Deputy Head of Government. Thus, he/she is just a member of the cabinet, as any other ministers.

Other countries that have similar designations include Equatorial Guinea, Peru, Uganda, and Namibia. Additionally, in two other countries in which the President is both Head of State and Government but the office of the Prime Minister also exists nominatively (South Korea and Sri Lanka), the PM is both Deputy Head of State and Head of Government, since the office of the Vice President does not exist.

Hence, my suggestion would be to remove from this list the Prime Ministers of Mozambique, Equatorial Guinea, Namibia, Peru, Uganda, as well as South Korea, Sri Lanka, as they are Heads of Government in nothing but name. In fact, they are merely cabinet members, which would imply that all countries' full cabinet members should be included in this list (which is not possible and reasonable). 31.44.72.176 (talk) 12:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
