Colonel (ret.) Tandja Mamadou (born 1938) is a Nigerien politician and current President. His name is sometimes reported as "Mamadou Tandja," which is not used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tandja participated in the 1974 coup that brought Seyni Kountche to power, and he subsequently held positions under Kountche's rule, including that of interior minister. On the second day of polling he was placed under house arrest along with the other three opposition candidates and held for two weeks. He appointed Hama Amadou as his Prime Minister in January 2000.
