Miguel Díaz-Canel (American Spanish: [mi'?el 'di.as ka'nel]; born 20 April 1960, full name Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez) is a Cuban politician currently serving as the President of Cuba since 2019.
He was previously President of the Council of State from 2018 to 2019 and First Vice President from 2013 to 2018.
He has been a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Cuba since 2003, and he served as Minister of Higher Education from 2009 to 2012; he was promoted to the post of Vice President of the Council of Ministers (deputy Prime Minister) in 2012.
A year later, on 24 February 2013, he was elected as First Vice President of the Council of State.He was selected to succeed Raúl Castro as the candidate for President of the Council of State and the Council of Ministers on 18 April 2018, and sworn into office the following day after nationwide polling.
His two predecessors in the role were brothers, by blood, and notably his succession from Raúl Castro represents a clearly non-dynastic form of succession for the Communist Party as well as the Republic of Cuba.
Díaz-Canel is therefore the first president to not be a Castro family member since Osvaldo Dorticós in 1976 and the first leader of the government who is not a Castro since José Miró Cardona in 1959.
Miguel Díaz-Canel is likely to succeed Raúl Castro as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, the most powerful position of Cuba in 2021.
