Mamnoon Hussain (Urdu: ممنون حسین; 23 December 1940 – 14 July 2021[1]) was a Pakistani politician and industrialist who served as the 12th president of Pakistan from 2013 to 2018. He was first appointed Governor of Sindh in June 1999 by President Rafiq Tarar; but was removed from the post in October 1999 due to the 1999 military coup d'état.[2][3] Hussain was then nominated for the presidency by the PMLN in July 2013 and was elected through an indirect presidential election.[4][5] Hussain took over the presidency after an oath administered by the Chief Justice of Pakistan on 9 September 2013.[5][6]
President Hussain maintained a low-key profile as president and his role was rarely seen in the nation's politics, although he was involved in a Polio eradication program.[7]
