The definite article "the" was missing

I read news on the BBC (on its website) this morning. When I was reading the news I noticed the definite article the was missing in a sentence. As per my opinion, the reporter missed the article the. But I also thought that the reporter also had some point as he did not use the article there. So I just wanted to confirm so landed here to get some help on it.

On the website:

It also proclaimed the group's leader, XYZ (name), as caliph and "leader for Muslims everywhere".

As per my opinion it should have been:

It also proclaimed the group's leader, XYZ (name), as the caliph and "leader for Muslims everywhere".
