The President (Arabic: الرئيس, romanized: alrrayiys) is a reality show created by Ma'an Network and Search for Common Ground, and was originally aired in 2013 in the Palestinian territories. The show, a cross between American Idol and The Apprentice, tasks viewers and a panel of expert judges with selecting the show candidate that they hope to see become the next Palestinian President. The program was designed to promote democratic values and procedures to a Palestinian audience and engage citizens in democratic processes.[1]
The President was funded by a two-year grant from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
