Vice-President of the Comoros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vice-President of the Comoros was a political position in the Comoros.[1] Vice-Presidents are appointed by the President. From 2002 to 2011, the Presidency and the positions of the two Vice-Presidents were rotated between the three islands, Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli. From 2011 to 2019, there were three Vice-Presidents, one from each of the islands in the Union of the Comoros. The positions of Vice-Presidents were abolished as part of the implementation of constitutional referendum held in 2018 in May 2019, instead designating the governors of the islands as successors to become acting president.
