The Chair of the Southeast Asian Micronational Association is the executive leader and chief administrative officer of the Southeast Asian Micronational Association. Akin to the Secretary-General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Chair is the most senior of the three recognised leaders of the SEAMA, with the office taking precedence over all other political appointments and positions in the organisation.

The Chair exercises a wide range of powers within the organisation, though they have little direct control over member states and their representatives, with the vast majority of their powers being technical and administrative.

The Chair nominates a Vice-Chair to assist and deputise for them where necessary. Also, both the Chair and Vice-Chair serves for the Southeast Asian Micronations Games Federation, but then later disputed.

Creation

The post of Chair was formally established on 24 July 2021. In his capacity as the founder of the SEAMA, Azwariq Qadri became the first official Chair since its creation and also nominated his de facto vice-chair, Ezra.

Election
