Abdoul Karim Meckassoua (born 31 December 1953 in the Bangui neighborhood of PK5[1]) is a Central African politician who served as the President of the National Assembly of the Central African Republic from 6 May 2016 to 29 October 2018.[2] He is the second Muslim head of government of the largely Roman Catholic majority African country following Michel Am-Nondokro Djotodia.

On 15 August 2021, he fled the country after the Constitutional Court impeached him following accusations of participation in the 2021 coup attempt.[3]
