Previously he was the Chairman of the [[Supreme Assembly (Tajikistan)\|Supreme Assembly of Tajikistan]], as the [[de facto]] [[head of state]] from 20 November 1992 to 16 November 1994 (the post of president was temporarily abolished during this period). Since 18 March 1998, he has also served as the leader of the left-wing [[People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan]], which dominates the [[Parliament of Tajikistan]]. On 30 September 1999, he was elected vice-president of the [[United Nations General Assembly\|UN General Assembly]] for a one-year term. He became widely known in 1992 after the abolition of the post of president in the country, when at the dawn of the [[Tajikistani Civil War\|civil war (1992–1997)]] he became Chairman of the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) of Tajikistan as a compromise candidate between communists and [[Neocommunists\|neo-communists]] on the one hand and liberal-democratic, nationalist and [[Islamist]] forces (the [[United Tajik Opposition]]) on the other. Line 71: Five times (in the elections of [[1994 Tajik presidential election\|1994]], [[1999 Tajik presidential election\|1999]], [[2006 Tajik presidential election\|2006]], [[2013 Tajik presidential election\|2013]] and [[2020 Tajik presidential election\|2020]]), Rahmon won undemocratic presidential elections; in addition, he extended and reformed his powers based on the results of the national constitutional referendums of [[1999 Tajik constitutional referendum\|1999]] and [[2003 Tajik constitutional referendum\|2003]]. Since 25 December 2015, Emomali Rahmon has held the lifetime title of ''Peshvoyi Millat'' ({{lang-tg\|Пешвои Миллат\|script=Latn\|italic=no}}), which means “Leader of the Nation”, in full — “Founder of peace and national Unity — Leader of the Nation”. Following the results of the last national constitutional referendum in [[2016 Tajik constitutional referendum\|2016]], 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. Rahmon heads an [[Authoritarianism\|authoritarian]] regime in Tajikistan with elements of a [[cult of personality]]. Political opponents are repressed, violations of human rights and freedoms are severe, elections are not free and fair, and [[corruption]] and [[nepotism]] are rampant.<ref>{{Cite web\|last=\|first=\|author-link=\|title=Tajikistan's eternal ruler Emomali Rakhmon {{!}} DW {{!}} 12.10.2020\|url=https://www.dw.com/en/tajikistans-eternal-ruler-emomali-rakhmon/a-55234401\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-05\|website=DW.COM\|publisher=[[Deutsche Welle]]\|language=en-GB\|archive-date=6 July 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210706140240/https://www.dw.com/en/tajikistans-eternal-ruler-emomali-rakhmon/a-55234401}}</ref><ref>{{cite news\|date=15 January 2019\|title=World Report 2019: Rights Trends in Tajikistan\|language=en\|work=[[Human Rights Watch]]\|url=https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2019/country-chapters/tajikistan\|access-date=13 May 2020\|archive-date=24 February 2019\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190224074509/https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2019/country-chapters/tajikistan\|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=The world's enduring dictators: Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan\|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-worlds-enduring-dictators-emomali-rahmon-tajikistan/\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-05\|website=www.cbsnews.com\|date=19 June 2011 \|publisher=[[CBS News]]\|language=en-US\|archive-date=9 July 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709190542/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-worlds-enduring-dictators-emomali-rahmon-tajikistan/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=Tajikistan: Nations in Transit 2020 Country Report\|url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/tajikistan/nations-transit/2020\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-05\|website=[[Freedom House]]\|language=en\|archive-date=11 July 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711013352/https://freedomhouse.org/country/tajikistan/nations-transit/2020}}</ref> Various important government positions are occupied by his family members, such as his 3536-year-old son [[Rustam Emomali]], who is the chairman of the country's parliament and the mayor of its capital city, [[Dushanbe]].<ref>{{Cite news\|title=Nepotism And Dynasty In Central Asian Politics\|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/nepotism-dynasty-central-asian-politics-roundtable/27538834.html\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-11\|website=[[RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty]]\|date=23 August 2016 \|language=en\|archive-date=11 July 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711142111/https://www.rferl.org/a/nepotism-dynasty-central-asian-politics-roundtable/27538834.html \|last1=Pannier \|first1=Bruce }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|last=Benevento\|first=Chris\|title=Tajikistan: President's Daughter Gets Plum Ministry Job\|url=https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/5850-tajikistan-president-s-daughter-gets-plum-ministry-job\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-11\|website=www.occrp.org\|publisher=[[Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project]]\|language=en-GB\|archive-date=11 July 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711142058/https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/5850-tajikistan-president-s-daughter-gets-plum-ministry-job}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news\|title=The Happiest Member Of The Rahmon Family\|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/qishloq-ovozi-happy-tajik-family/29032252.html\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-11\|website=[[RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty]]\|date=10 February 2018 \|language=en\|archive-date=7 May 2021\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507110952/https://www.rferl.org/a/qishloq-ovozi-happy-tajik-family/29032252.html \|last1=Pannier \|first1=Bruce }}</ref> ==Early life== Line 108: During a 2010 [[Organisation of Islamic Cooperation]] session in [[Dushanbe]], Rahmon spoke against what he called the misuse of Islam for political ends, claiming that "Terrorism, terrorists, have no nation, no country, no religion...
