Rulers
The line of President of Angola - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| José Eduardo dos Santos | 1979 – 2017 | 38 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone | |
| João Lourenço | 2017 – in office | in office since 2017 | still in office |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1979 – 2017. Only 38 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
