Talk:List of heads of state of Niger

Renumbering Presidents vs. Head of State

Note, the ref just added, is the major English language reference, listing "Presidents of Niger" Kountche is there. He had a Presidential Guard. He was President of Niger. The Website of the Presidency of Niger lists him as such. Please don't re-number the presidents of Niger based of assumption. Thank you. 05:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Add election

It would be informative to include whether the person was elected or seized power, perhaps in the notes section alongside whether they were deposed. Thanks. Gregory dj (talk) 14:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

List of heads of state of Niger → List of Presidents of NigerList of Presidents of Niger – It should be moved for the sake of consistency with other similar articles. Sundostund (talk) 23:17, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:53, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Not all appear to have held the title president. Should probably be discussed more. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:42, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Majority have held the title president. When it comes to lists of African leaders, its almost never the case that all officeholders in a list have held the same title. Should be moved now, and if other editors oppose the move, it could be reverted. --Sundostund (talk) 03:01, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose. By nom's own admission, the proposed title would be inaccurate. The current title covers presidents and others, and the existing redirect caters for those looking for them under the title President whether accurate or not. If other articles have inaccurate titles, they should be moved, not this one. Andrewa (talk) 17:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose: per Andrewa. DrStrauss talk 20:20, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hassoumi Massaoudou as "President in exile".

Massaoudo proclaimed himself as President on the 27 July 2023, even not recorgnized I think we should add him to the list. 89.12.163.153 (talk) 20:28, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

No, he has neither any political power in the country or diplomatic recognition, and there are no sources calling him president. TEMPO156 (talk) 20:55, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Yea I agree, I searched information about him and read that he proclaimed himself as head of government and not head of state, so he would be wrong on the list beside the other things. 89.12.163.153 (talk) 23:09, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
