President Emomali Rakhmon of Tajikistan is looking increasingly like its southern neighbour- a weak state is suffering from a failure of leadership. Energy infrastructure is near total breakdown for the second winter running, and it is likely migrant labourer remittances, the driver of the country's economy in recent years,will fall dramatically as a result of the world economic crisis

"Tajikistan is officially a republic, and holds elections for the President and Parliament. The latest parliamentary elections occurred in 2005 (two rounds in February and March), and international observers believe that the elections have been corrupt for some time, arousing many accusations from opposition parties that President Emomali Rahmon manipulates the election process.
The latest presidential election held on November 6, 2006 was boycotted by "mainline" opposition parties, including the 23,000-member Islamist Islamic Renaissance Party. Four remaining opponents "all but endorsed the incumbent", Rahmon.17 After November 2006 presidential elections, it is widely speculated that Rahmon has secured his seat for at least another two terms, which will allow him rule until 2020.needed"

This is from Wikipedia. Basically there is some shadiness and doubt to the legitimacy of Rahmon, but he is currently in charge and runs things his way.
