Best Answer

The chairman of the Uzbek Senate, Nigmatilla Yuldashev, became the acting president following the death of longtime incumbent Islam Karimov on September 2, 2016 (age 78). This was coincidentally the day following his 15th anniversary in the position.

Islam Karimov was the former president of the Uzbek SSR (from March 24, 1990). After declaring Uzbekistan's independence on August 31, 1991, he became the first President of Uzbekistan on September 1. He extended his presidency through a referendum in 1995 and presidential elections in 2000, 2007, and 2015, all of which have been criticized as unfair and rigged by the international community.
