Politics of the Central African Republic

The current Constitution is dated January 7, 1995, approved in a referendum in 1994.

The Central African Republic is presidential. The President is the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, elected by direct universal suffrage to double return for a period of six years, being able to remain only two mandates. The President appoints the Prime Minister and, together with him, holds the executive power. Legislative power resides in a National Assembly, the Economic and Regional Council and the Council of State that, together, form the Congress. The Assembly is composed of 109 members elected by universal suffrage for a term of five years; the Economic and Regional Council is elected in equal parts by the President of the Republic and the National Assembly, and the Council of State is an advisory body of the National Assembly. The legislative initiative corresponds to both the Assembly and the President, who can dissolve it to convene elections.

The Constitutional Court of the Central African Republic is the highest judicial power in the country and is elected by the President of the Republic.

In addition, regional assemblies with competence in some areas, such as decentralized administration bodies, are established.
