2022–2025 Lebanese presidential election

An indirect election of the president of Lebanon took place from 29 September 2022 until 9 January 2025 to determine the successor of term-limited incumbent Michel Aoun. The commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces, Joseph Aoun (no close relation to Michel), was elected president in the second round of voting of the thirteenth parliamentary session on 9 January 2025, securing 99 votes. He took office on the same day while keeping his position as the commander of the Lebanese Forces, becoming the 14th president and the fifth army commander to assume the role. This is the first election since 1958 without the interference of Syria, whose regime took power in 1963 by the Ba'athists until its collapse in 2024.

Under Article 49 of Lebanese constitution, in the first round of an electoral session, a qualified majority of two-thirds of the members of the Lebanese Parliament is required to elect the President. If no candidate reaches that threshold, further rounds of voting are held, where an absolute majority of all MPs is sufficient to elect the president. The years-long process was not without precedent; the previous election took forty-six sessions with multiple rounds across two years.

By convention, the presidency is always held by a Maronite Christian. The incumbent president is only eligible for re-election to a second, non-consecutive term.
