The president Alaoyi, officially the federal president of Alaoyi is the head of state and head of government of the Federative Republic of Alaoyi. The president is the leader of the executive branch and is the chief of the Alaoyian Armed Forces.

The modern Alaoyian presidential system has its roots with the civil strife of the 1950s where the parliamentary system was abolished and replaced by a strong presidential system. The initial presidency was intended to maintain stability, compared to the constant fracturing of the Alaoyian parliamentary coalitions. The 1960 election was the first, with a special electoral college electing Chinou Onyekachukwu as president for a seven year term. With the advent of the 1989 constitution, the presidential term was limited to five years and faced several checks on its power.

Since the end of ewezuga the presidential term has been limited to five year terms, although limited to two consecutive terms, and is directly elected in a two-round system requiring a majority to be elected. Adriaan Breytenbach is the incumbent, having been elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2018.

List of Presidents

1987-Present

The era after the end of ewezuga saw a dramatic shift in the country's politics as the Socialists dominated the former political sphere due to a split in the Populists. However, with the institution of the two round system in 1998 presidential elections have become much more competitive than they were in years prior.

2		Willem de Frederiks (1923–2005)	1 January 1989	1 January 1994	Socialist	Great Lake Province	1988	The first post-ewezuga president of Alaoyi and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of ewezuga through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically a democratic socialist and pacifist, de Frederiks led a massive overhaul of the country's pension system, downsized the military, and encouraged more peaceful relations with Inglaterra. He refused to run in 1993.

3		Lukas MacDarcy (1941–2019)	1 January 1994	1 January 1999	Socialist	O'Brian Province	1993	MacDarcy was the first ever Diash-speaking president of Alaoyi and succeeded President de Fredericks. Despite being elected with a plurality of the vote in 1993, a short recession would decrease MacDarcy's popularity. As a result, MacDarcy would lose the 1998 election to the National Populist Candidate Breasal Ó Conaill by a signifigant margin in the second round. After losing the 1998 election, MacDarcy described himself as permanently retiring from political life.
