The position of President was created in November 1990 while Tajikistan was still a [[Republics of the Soviet Union|Soviet Republic]]. The president of Tajikistan lives in the capital, [[Dushanbe]]. ==History of the Presidency== The first president of Tajikistan was [[Qahhor Mahkamov]], who held the position of [[First Secretary of the Communist Party of Tajikistan]] and was appointed President of the [[Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic]] in November 1990. Mahkamov served both as First Secretary and President but was forced to resign in August 1991 due to the unpopularity of his support for the [[August Coup of 1991]] in Moscow and the resulting street demonstrations in [[Dushanbe]]. From 1991 to 1992 the post of the president changed hands several times due to the political changes and uncertainly following the dissolution of the [[Soviet Union]] and ensuing social unrest and violence in the [[Tajikistan Civil War]]. Since 1992 [[Emomali Rahmonov]] has held the position of the presidency. The last presidential elections were last held in 1999. Presidential elections in Tajikistan have consistently been criticized by international observers as unfair and favoring the ruling party. ==Leaders of Tajikistan since 1924== ===[[Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic]] (1925-1929)=== ====Executive Secretaries of the Tajik Provincial Committee Communist Party==== *[[Chinor Imomov]] (1924 - 1925) *[[Boris Vyacheslavovich Tolpygo]] (1925 - 1927) *[[Mumin Suleymanovich Khodzhayev]] (1927 - 1928) *[[Ali Heydar Ibash Shervoni]] (1928 - 1929) *[[Shirinsho Shotemor]] (1929 - November 1929) ====Chairman of the Central Executive Committee==== *[[Nusratulla Maksum Lutfullayev]] (1926 - 1933) ===[[Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic]] (1929-1991)=== ====First Secretaries of the Tajik Communist Party==== *[[Mirza Davud Huseynov|Mirza Davud Bagir ogly Husseynov]] (November [[1929]] - [[3 November]] [[1933]]) *[[Grigory Broydo|Grigory Isaakovich Broydo]] ([[3 November]] [[1933]] - [[8 January]] [[1934]]) *[[Suren Shadunz|Suren Konstantinovich Shchadunts]] ([[8 January]] [[1934]] - September 1937) *[[Urunboi Ushturov|Urumbay Ashurovich Ashurov]] (September 1937 - March 1938) *[[Dmitry Protopopov|Dmitry Zakharovich Protopopov]] (April 1938 - August 1946) *[[Bobojon Ghafurov|Bobodzhan Gafurovich Gafurov]] ([[16 August]] [[1946]] - [[24 May]] [[1956]]) *[[Tursun Uljabayev|Tursun Uldzhabayevich Uldzhabayev]] ([[24 May]] [[1956]] - [[12 April]] [[1961]]) *[[Jabbor Rasulov|Dzhabar Rasulovich Rasulov]] ([[12 April]] [[1961]] - [[4 April]] [[1982]]) *[[Rahmon Nabiyev|Rakhman Nabiyevich Nabiyev]] ([[4 April]] [[1982]] - [[14 December]] [[1985]]) *[[Qahhor Mahkamov|Kakhar Makhkamovich Makhkamov]] ([[14 December]] [[1985]] - [[4 September]] [[1991]]) ====Chairmen of the Central Executive Committee==== *[[Nusratulla Maksum Lutfullayev]] ([[16 December]] [[1926]] - [[28 December]] [[1933]]) *[[Shirinsho Shotemor]] ([[28 December]] [[1933]] - December 1936) *[[Abdullo Rakhimbayevich Rakhimbayev]] (December 1936 - September 1937) *[[Munavar Shagadayev]] (September [[1937]] - [[13 July]] [[1938]]) ====Chairman of the Supreme Soviet==== *[[N.
