Executive power is held and exercised by the President of the Republic, who is head of the government and supreme commander of the military forces of the State. The president is elected by universal suffrage for a term of six years and he can be reelected for a further two consecutive terms. A sitting president can only be removed from office by a qualified majority in the High Council of State. Successive revisions to the constitution have greatly strenghtened the office, while stripping the legislature of many attributions and tools of oversight. The current President is Dong Bao, elected with 68% of the vote in 2026.

Following the formation of the government of national emergency, the lower house was abolished and all its powers and duties were transferred to the High Council of State. The council is the nation's sole legislature, composed of six hundred members. Of these, a third are chosen by the sitting president, 330 are elected by direct vote of the population and the remaining 70 are elected from proportional lists according to each parties voting results. All members of the council serve for five year terms and there is no limit on how many terms a legislator can serve. Current criticism of the legislative focuses on its submission to the executive under the current system of dominant party, moreover the abolition of the lower house removed more of the safeguards of plurality and against undue accumulation of authority by the executive.
