| Term length | Six years |
The Presidency of the Piraean Republic (Piraese: προεδρία της Πειραιηκή Δημοκρατία, tr. Proedría tis Pireikí Dimokratía), also known as the Presidency of Piraea, is the collective Head of State of the Piraean Republic. The Presidency is a three-member council appointed by the Piraean Senate. Members of the presidency serve six-year terms and are limited by the constitution to a single term. The presidency has the procedural duty of appointing the premier with the consent of the legislature. Because members of the presidency are constitutionally prohibited from membership in political parties while in office, many of the candidates have resigned to their position or previously held positions in the judiciary, making them independents.
Unlike many countries with a presidency, the presidency does not serve as commander in chief of the armed forces. During peacetime, the office of commander in chief is vacant. During times of war, the presidency appoints a commander in chief with the consent of the legislature. The presidency has some influence over foreign policy, often holding talks with foreign officials and heads of state.
The current chairman of the presidency is Andreas Milenkos-Vallou. He was appointed in 2023 alongside Elena Stamopoulou-Stratea and Markos Tavoularides. The chairmanship rotates every two years.
