Saddam Husein was in power from 1979 to 2003 he was in power for 24 years.
It is worth noting, though that while he was not officially in power until 1979, he was the true leader of Iraq (in place of the ailing President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr) as early as 1973, effectively making him the ruler of Iraq for 30 years even though he only held the title for 24.
