Inside the book is a picture of Emomali Rahmon (1952) is a Tajik politician who has been serving as President of Tajikistan since 16 November 1994. Five times (in the elections of 1994, 1999, 2006, 2013 and 2020), Rahmon won presidential election. Since 2015, Emomali Rahmon has held the lifetime title of Peshvoyi Millat “Leader of the Nation, Founder Of Peace And National Unity”. Amendments were adopted that lifted the restrictions on the number of re-elections to the post of President of Tajikistan and lowered the age limit for those running for the post of president from 35 to 30 years. Various important government positions are occupied by his family members, such as his 35-year-old son Rustam Emomali, who is the chairman of the country’s parliament and the mayor of its capital city, Dushanbe. In addition to granting Rahmon lifelong immunity from prosecution, the law also gave him a number of other lifelong privileges, including veto powers over all major state decisions, the freedom to address the nation and parliament on all important matters and the privilege of attending all government meetings and parliament sessions.
