Ahmad Saleh Tu'mah al-Khader (also spelled Tumeh, Touma and Tohme, Arabic: أحمد طعمة; born 1965, in Deir ez-Zor, Syria) is a Syrian politician who was elected as Prime Minister of the Syrian interim government created by the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.[1]

Tu'mah, a self-proclaimed moderate Islamist, won with 75 out of the 97 votes on a meeting held by the National Coalition in Istanbul and, as was with his predecessor Ghassan Hitto, has been tasked to create a government with 13 ministers to govern the zones in Syria currently under the control of the Free Syrian Army forces.[1]

In a statement against the local Kurdish autonomy movement, Tu'mah said: "This movement is the mere product of the Democratic Union Party, and as soon as we topple the Assad regime we will end its short existence."[2]

The interim government was dissolved on 22 July 2014.[3] He was reelected on 14 October 2014 after several days of debate, and getting 63 votes out of 65 cast, although the coalition has 109 members with right to vote.[4]
