President of Bijan

The President of the Republic of Bijan (Esperanto: Prezidanto de la Respubliko Biĵano) is the head of state of the Republic of Bijan.

Bijan is a parliamentary republic, therefore the President is mainly a symbolic figurehead and holds no executive power. The President is obliged to suspend his or her membership in any political party for the term of office. Upon assuming office, the authority and duties of the President in all other elected or appointed offices terminate automatically. These measures should theoretically help the President to function in a more independent and impartial manner.

The President is elected by the Parliament of Bijan, or a special electoral college, for a term of six years. The electoral college is convened in the event no candidate secures a two-thirds majority in the Parliament after three rounds of voting. The electoral college, which consists of all 299 members of the Parliament, plus elected representatives from each of Bijan's 530 county and municipal councils, elects the president.

electoral body, which consists of all members of the Riigikogu and elected representatives of all local self-governments (at least one representative per each municipality, but not more than 10 representatives depending on the number of citizens with voting rights residing in the municipality), elects the president, choosing between the two candidates with the largest percentage of votes. No one can be elected president more than twice.

The current President is Ksenia Brulemo, elected by the Parliament on September 6, 2011, and inaugurated on October 1, 2011.
