Jan Jambon (born 26 April 1960) is a Belgian businessman and politician of the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) who served as Minister-President of Flanders from 2019 to 2024. He replaced Kris Peeters as a member of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives in 2007. The N-VA was, at that time, partnered with the Christian-Democratic and Flemish party.[1] In June 2010 and May 2014 he was re-elected on an N-VA list.[2]
He became mayor of Brasschaat in 2013 after his party won the local elections in 2012.[3] In November 2014, he was replaced as acting mayor by Koen Verberck (also N-VA), after joining the new Federal Government.[4]
In October 2014 he became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior and Security, charged with the direction of public buildings, in the Michel Government.[5] Jambon remained in this position until the government fell in December 2018.
In 2019, he became the new Flemish Minister-President of the Jambon government. He is also the mayor of the municipality of Brasschaat. Jambon stepped down as Minister-President with the formation of the Diependaele Government, following the 2024 regional election.
