There are many examples of women leading Muslim-majority countries. The majority of all Muslims in the world live in countries that have, at some time, elected women as their leaders. The three most populous Muslim-majority countries have had women as leaders:

  • Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Megawati Sukarnoputri as president
  • Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim-majority country, twice (non-consecutively) elected Benazir Bhutto as prime minister
  • Bangladesh, the third most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina as prime ministers

Nearly one-third of Peoples Council (or the Parliament) of Egypt; the fifth most populous Muslim majority nation; also consists of women
