The minister-president of Wallonia () is the head of the Government of Wallonia, the executive power of Wallonia, one of the three regions of Belgium.
The official residence, known as the Élysette, is in Namur, along the Meuse River.
The minister-president should not be confused with the minister-president of the French Community of Belgium, which is currently led by Élisabeth Degryse.
List of officeholders Presidents are numbered according to uninterrupted periods served by the same person. For example, Jean-Maurice Dehousse was both the 1st president and the 3rd president because his two terms were not consecutive. A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president, like André Antoine, is not counted, because the president remains in office during such a period.PortraitNameElectionTerm of officePolitical partyGovernment Took office Left office Time in office Name Composition1 Jean-Maurice Dehousse1981 22 December 1981 26 January 1982 35 days Socialist Party (PS) 2 André Damseaux— 26 January 1982 25 October 1982 272 days Liberal Reformist Party (PRL) 3 Jean-Maurice Dehousse— 25 October 1982 11 December 1985 3 years, 46 days Socialist Party (PS) 4 Melchior Wathelet1985 11 December 1985 3 February 1988 2 years, 53 days Christian-Social Party (PSC) 5 Guy Coëme1987 3 February 1988 9 May 1988 96 days Socialist Party (PS) 6 Bernard Anselme— 11 May 1988 7 January 1992 3 years, 240 days 7 Guy Spitaels1991 7 January 1992 25 January 1994 2 years, 18 days 8— 25 January 1994 15 July 1999 5 years, 172 days 1995 9 Elio Di Rupo1999 15 July 1999 4 April 2000 264 days 10 Jean-Claude Van Cauwenberghe— 4 April 2000 30 September 2005 5 years, 178 days 2004 — André Antoine (acting)— 30 September 2005 6 October 2005 6 days Humanist Democratic Center (cdH) 11 Elio Di Rupo— 6 October 2005 20 July 2007 1 year, 287 days Socialist Party (PS) 12 Rudy Demotte— 20 July 2007 22 July 2014 7 years, 2 days 2009 13 Paul Magnette2014 22 July 2014 28 July 2017 3 years, 6 days 14 Willy Borsus— 28 July 2017 13 September 2019 2 years, 46 days Reformist Movement (MR) 15 Elio Di Rupo2019 13 September 2019 15 July 2024 4 years, 306 days Socialist Party (PS) 16 Adrien Dolimont 2024 15 July 2024 Incumbent Reformist Movement (MR)
