Rustam Emomali ([Рустам Эмомалӣ] Error: {{Langx}}: Non-latn text/Latn script subtag mismatch (help); [ɾusˈtʰam e̞mɔmaˈli] born 19 December 1987) is a Tajik politician who is the current Chairman of the National Assembly of Tajikistan,[1] Mayor of Dushanbe and the eldest son of Emomali Rahmon, the long-standing authoritarian leader of Tajikistan.[2] Emomali's father appointed Emomali as the mayor of Dushanbe when he was 29 years old.[3]
Rustam Emomali is believed to be prepared by his father to succeed him as the leader of Tajikistan; he holds the title of the constitutionally designated successor to the presidency.[4][5] He heads the anti-corruption agency in Tajikistan[5] and the state's financial oversight agency.[3] Despite not having served in the armed forces, he holds the rank of major general.[6][7]
