Akhundzada Supreme Leadership

Theocratic and Supreme Religious-Legal Leaderships

The Akhundzada Supreme Leadership is Afghanistan's ultimate governing authority under Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada (Amir al-Mu'minin), an Afghan cleric and politician, in office since his appointment on 25 May 2016 succeeding Akhtar Mansour, who was killed in a US drone strike; he overrides Prime Minister Hasan Akhund's cabinet on major decisions, the same dual pattern already minted for Russia (Putin/Mishustin) and Egypt (Sisi/Madbouly).
