# Vice President of Syria

The vice president of Syria (Arabic: نائب رئيس سوريا, romanized: Nayib Raʾīs Sūriyā) is a political position in Syria. The Constitution of Syria states that in the case of the president's temporary disablement, the vice president may become acting president. Multiple people can hold the office of vice president at the same time. The president of Syria appoints vice presidents.
As of December 2024, the HTS-led Syrian transitional government has not selected a vice president, and it is unclear whether the role will exist in the post-Ba'athist constitution.
