President of the Federal State of Indokistan (Indonesian: Presiden Negara Federal Indokistan) was the head of state and head of government of Indokistan from 2010 until 2016. It had 18 months for one term duration with no limit of terms to be taken by candidates, but the incumbent shall not take another term for the next period, and is able to register as candidate after the succeeding president term ends. So one person may had infinite terms, but without consecutive terms.

First president Farhan Abdurrahman was appointed after the founding of Indokistan in 16 September 2010 under meritocratic principle, which another two founders at that time, Dicky L. K. and Nabil Ihsan saw him as the most competent individual, making him to be appointed as president at that time. This principle of meritocracy was reused as an official procedure inside National Forum, when members may appoint anyone inside the forum that they seen as most competent, except the incumbent. On that new system, Farhan Abdurrahman was reelected on 2014 election, the only figure to do so.

Since the establishment, election to appoint new president was already held for three times, first held in 2011, 2013, and the last one was in 2014. All of those elections mentioned produced Dicky L. K., Tian Abdurrahman, and Farhan Abdurrahman as president, respectively.

Powers and duties

Powers and duties president of Indokistan were established on the constitution. President headed the national forum, which was one of the core part of Indokistani direct democracy system. President had important role as symbol of unity of the nation of Indokistan as whole, and headed the national armed forces.

President signed treaties, had rights to declare war and martial law upon agreement from national forum, granting awards, orders, and pardon to particular peoples, receive credentials from foreign ambassador, and to declare mobilization and dismissal of national armed forces. Presidents also had rights to establish a decree.

Succession

Indokistan had no other executive position but the president, and if the president suddenly unable to run his task because of his death, resignation, or other circumstances, the National Forum will appoint new acting president among its members. The appointed acting president later should decided does he will continue his predecessor term, or to held a new presidential election - this procedure was introduced in 2014 after a constitutional amendment.

Indokistan experienced three presidential resignations throughout its history, forcing appointment of new successor. The first one was in 2012 during Dicky L. K. resignation, which at that time Prime Minister Nabil Ihsan automatically ascended the president position, as obliged by the constitution, ignoring Dicky request to either replaced by his "vice-president" or to held new election, which both rendered unconstitutional. Nabil Ihsan again took position as provisional head of state after departure of Jendri Mamahit from his position in December 2012. The last one was in January 2014, when Tian Abdurrahman that abandoned his position was replaced by Rayhan Haikal, on which he decided to continue the term of Tian's presidency that ended in December 2014.

Oath of office
