Tayyib Hume (born February 3, 1968) is an Mulfuliran politician and diplomat who served as the 32nd President of Mulfulira from 2017-2024. He also served previously as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and a district representative for his home state of Pyrayuba. From 2014-2022, he was the leader of the LPM.

Hume's presidency has recieved mixed reactions, with many supporting his economic policies and social reform programs, but with criticism levied towards Hume's own ethics scandals. Hume has been impeached six times; in 2019 for a funds mismanagement scandal; in 2022 after Ali Massin, leader of the NPM, accused Hume and top administration officials of diverting millions in government funds for personal gain, including a luxury yacht which has been used frequently on Lake Gravenna, a series of high-bill vacations to Quetana and Kuresa, and expensive 16th century paintings or adornment on personal properties. He narrowly survived all subsequent no-confidence votes.

In 2024, Hume faced mounting calls to step down after it was revealed he had ordered his government to coverup the severity of an outbreak of the Sora virus. The ensuing global pandemic also turned global perception negatively towards him. In addition to poor public opinion towards Hume, several judicial investigations into his corruption were blocked by Hume's allies in parliament, he was once again impeached but narrowly survived. On June 8th, 2024, a popular revolution by demonstrators and the military overthrew Hume, ending his presidency.
