The legislative branch is composed of a single house with the executive being formed of the party (or coalition) having the majority of seats. Election are held through a "first past the post" method whereby "Deputies" are elected by obtaining a simple majority of vote in a given circumscription. Whichever political party has the most deputies is declared by the Director General of election to have won the election and asked to form the new government. A given government can stay in power for a maximum of five years but can request that the Director General declare an election before the end date. There are no limits on the number of terms a given deputies can serve and thus no limit on how long a Prime Minister can govern.
