Peket Ahmadi was a Tsiba politician and member of the Shooda-Tsiba party. He was the second Prime Minister of Tsiba, as well as the second Leader of the Shooda-Tsiba Party, from 1993 to 2018. He served as a General in the Special Forces of the Shooda-Tsiba Patseda from 1993 to 1996. He was the first Ja-Prime Minister of Tsiba and succeeded Beshootsu Pyvupi after her assasination in 2003. He died in 2018 at his home in Chatoogu'u of lung cancer.
Early Life and Career[edit | edit source]
Ahmadi was born in 1959 in the city of Chatoogu'u. His father was a high school teacher and his mother was a homemaker. He enrolled at the University of Central Vi'atsy in 1977, where he first became involved with anti-Jutstytoo groups. In 1986 he went into hiding in Ahitutha where he first met Beshootsu Pyvupi. The two worked together extensively until Pyvupi's death in 2003.
He led the Special Forces of the Shooda-Tsiba Patseda from 1993 and 1996, where he legendarily was the first member of the STP to step foot in Shuputsy when it was retaken in 1993.
Political Career[edit | edit source]
When the STP took over Tsiba in 1993, Pyvupi nominated Ahmadi as her Ja-Prime Minister. He retired from the Special Forces following the Yavotera-Tsiba War.
On June 11, 2003, Prime Minister Beshootsu Pyvupi was assassinated in Chavotsy. Ahmadi took over her roles as leader of the Shooda-Tsiba party and as Prime Minister of Tsiba. As Prime Minister he opened the political system to parties outside of the Shooda-Tsiba. However, he was often criticized for his lack of foreign policy. He died in 2018 and his protege, Mahshid Shi'upa, took over his roles.
Personal Life[edit | edit source]
Ahmadi met and married his wife in 1983. The couple had three children.
As Prime Minister, Ahmadi split his time between his hometown of Chatoogu'u and the capital of Jishutsy. In 2016 Ahmadi was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer, which ultimately killed him two years later in 2018. Ahmadi was buried in Chatoogu'u's city cemetary, at the requests of his widow.
Ahmadi identified as non-religious.
