Presidents

The numbering reflects the uninterrupted terms in office served by each president. For example, Alberto João Jardim served for ten consecutive terms and is counted as the second president (not the seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth president): the Roman numerals refer to the legislature that their terms encompassed. Carlos Manuel de Azeredo and Joaquim Miguel Duarte Silva served as presidents of the Regional Junta, the provisional government that functioned during the transition towards democracy.

The current President of the Regional Government of Madeira is Miguel Albuquerque, whose party won the Madeira regional election, 2015 on 29 March 2015.
