The President serves as the Head of State, a position that is mostly ceremonial in nature. In contrast, the real governing power lies with the Prime Minister, who acts as the head of government.

• The Prime Minister is formally appointed by the President, but this appointment depends on having the confidence of the majority of Members of Parliament (MPs).

• The Executive branch is led by the Prime Minister, who is responsible for selecting all other Ministers.

• The Prime Minister and the most senior Ministers together form the Cabinet, which serves as the highest decision-making body of the government.
