After two of his successive predecessors had resigned over their refusal to sign a controversial anti-terrorism bill, the parliament elected Offmann to serve as the third president on 25 February 2002.[1] He served in the post until Paul Bérenger became his prime minister and nominated a new president on 1 October 2003.
