Îlham Ehmed (Kurdish: ئیلھام ئەحمەد, Arabic: إلهام أحمد), also rendered as Îlham Ahmed, is a Kurdish politician from Syria and a member of Democratic Union Party[1] currently serving as the co-president of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (Rojava)[2][3] and member of the executive committee of the Movement for a Democratic Society (TEV-DEM) coalition.

An ethnic Kurd born in Afrin,[7] Ehmed has been outspoken on the aim of a programmatically polyethnic character of a future Syria.

[8]Having been involved with the Kurdish nationalist movement since the 1990s,[7] Ehmed seeks have a decentralized government in the form of a federalized Syria.

It rejected channels of communication to address the aftermath of the earthquake and ensuing humanitarian catastrophe...They are the main obstacle in unifying the Syrian vision.

[11] After both Turkey's threat to attack Afrin and U.S. President Donald Trump's declaration that the United States would withdraw its troops from the territories governed by the SDC in December 2018, Ehmed travelled to Paris with SDC co-chair Riad Darar to talk with the French government about further cooperation with the French troops stationed in the areas governed by the SDC.
