What is the Government System in Cyprus?
Cyprus is an independent and sovereign republic. A presidential system of Government modelled on western democracies is in place. The President, who is the Head of State, is elected by the people every five years and executive power lies both with him and the Council of Ministers appointed by the multi-party system based on proportional representation. The judiciary is the separate and independent body within the state administering the Law. The Republic of Cyprus comprises the south of the island and majority area, where the indigenous Cypriots are principally of Greek origin.
