Vice President of Syria
Wikimedia list article
The vice president of Syria (Arabic: نائب رئيس سوريا, romanized: Nayib Raʾīs Sūriyā), officially the vice president of the Syrian Arab Republic, is the second-highest political position in the Syrian government after the president. The current Constitutional Declaration states that in the case of the president's 'temporary disablement', a vice president may become the acting president.
Multiple people can hold the office of vice president at the same time. The president is responsible for appointing the vice president, alongside determining their powers. Since the fall of the Assad regime, the position has been left vacant.
Powers, selection and succession
Under the Constitutional Declaration of the Syrian Arab Republic:
The President of the Republic appoints one or more vice presidents,
The President determines their powers, dismisses them, and accepts their resignations,
If the presidency becomes vacant, the vice president assumes the President’s powers.

Why this record matters
“Vice President of Syria” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Vice, President and Syria provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q511061. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
