Selemoni XIV Yegidoni (born February 17, 1959), is the monarch of the Kingdom of Kembesa. The Kembesan title for the monarch "Seyoume Igziabeher" translates directly to "Elect of God", though it is more frequently simplified to "King". In his early adulthood, Colonel Selemoni Selemoni was a career soldier in the Kembesan Elect Army.

King Selemoni acceded to the throne of Kembesan following the abdication of his father in December 1986. His early reign was marked by military interventions in neighbouring countries and conservative reforms within Kembesa. In the subsequent decades, King Selemoni has enacted and maintained protectionist economic policies as well as an anti-socialist agenda. The monarch's reign has been contested by liberal reformist politicians as well as several domestic terrorist campaigns.

In recent years, King Selemoni has retreated from public life, though he continues to carry through his governmental duties behind the walls of Hagērī Palace in Azwa. The monarch's last public appearance was in 2017 and most decrees and edicts are delivered through the palace's press office and messages to the royal councils.
