Saida Shavkatovna Mirziyoyeva is an Uzbek politician and the eldest daughter of incumbent President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Since June 2025, she has occupied the role of Head of the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan. In August 2026, a sweeping constitutional reform expanded her executive powers, with the office outranking the prime minister in terms of legal authority and oversight over the Cabinet of Ministers. The law also designated the head of the administration as the deputy chair of the Security Council, effectively establishing her as the de facto number two political figure in the country.
