Portrait		General Secretary (Birth–Death)	Term		Party	Republic	Notes
1		Giorgio Cittàgrano (1914–2003)	29 April 1971	3 August 1977	Independent	Almarence	Cittàgrano, commander-in-chief of the pro-democracy forces during the civil war, would be elected as provisional president. While not holding the office as established by the constitution, his successors would recognize him as the first president of Soltenia. Cittàgrano intiated several reforms for the provisional government, establishing an independent civil service, implementing a new curency, fighting the ongoing insurgency in the interior, and amnesty for lower level offenders from the communist regime. Despite his wide popularity, Cittàgrano refused to run in the 1977 election, citing poor health (Cittàgrano had had a stroke in December of 1976).

2		Ezio Faraghi (1913–1992)	3 August 1977	1 August 1983	Conservative Union	Colpi	The first elected president under the modern constitution, Faraghi ran as a more libertarian candidate and oversaw an expansion of the power of the constituent republics at the expense of the central government and demilitarization due to a perceived winding down of insurgent conflicts in the deep interior. However, despite high economic growth in 1977-1982, a large increase in the monetary supply and several price shocks led to a period of hyperinflation, with the Soltenish nuovo credito reaching 76.2% monthly inflation in June of 1983. Public confidence in Faraghi dropped and he lost the 1983 election in a landslide to Raimundo Erixani.
			5 years and 363 days
3		Raimundo Erixani (1924–1994)	1 August 1983	27 January 1994	Confederal	Soleria	A dark horse candidate for the presidency, Erixani's Piana Bronzella campaign promise led to him winning the 1983 elections in a landslide. After being able to stabilize the currency, capital in flows and investments into the Soltenish economy increased, leading to high economic growth and stabilization of prices as inflation slowed. Erixani was reelected in 1989 by a wide margin. However, Erixani suffered a stroke in January 1994. Despite not dying initially, Erixani was left unresponsive for six days until he died on 27 January. His chief minister, Carlo Alfazzi, asssumed the presidency.
