Husani Antar (born 17 October 1967) is an Zalluabedian politician who served as the President of Zalluabed from 10 June 2023 until his ouster in a coup on August 20th, 2023. He was elected along with a LLP majority in the 2023 general election, ousting president Zayyaan al-Akhtar and marking the first time since 1997 that a liberal-leaning government had been elected. Antar was born in Tuim and represented the nearby district of Tifranjah in the parliament from 2008 to 2023. Antar's government began implementing many progressive reforms, including loosening restrictions on women, pursuing a normalization process with Albarine, and the introduction of a withdrawal from the TTPA. In August 2023, military forces loyal to Saahir Salim overthrew Antar's government in a coup and forced Antar to flee into exile in Albarine. The subsequent power struggle between the military and pro-Antar factions evolved into a civil war.
