The chief executive of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was a position within the Government of Afghanistan that served as head of government of Afghanistan. The extra-constitutional post was created in September 2014 following the disputes that arose after the 2014 Afghan presidential election when both Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, who was the only one held that post, claimed victory in that election. As part of a National Unity Agreement, it was agreed that Ashraf Ghani would assume the presidency and a new post of chief executive of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan would be created for Abdullah Abdullah.[2]

After his claim as president, disputed with Ghani, this post had remained vacant from 2020 until the Taliban retook power in 2021 after the Islamic Republic collapsed.
