Barlen Vyapoory,^[1] who has been carrying out this duty in acting capacity and had been the vice president since 2016, assumed the duty temporarily on 23 March 2018 after the resignation of the then-president Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, but with the statement he made on 26 November 2019, he announced his resignation. Balancy, who served as the Attorney General after this development, was temporarily appointed to this office until the new president was elected.^[2] However, instead of Balancy, who held this post until 2 December, the National Assembly appointed Prithvirajsing Roopun on that date.^[3]
