The Davil of Kolhar, officially the Davil of the Federal State of Kolhar, is the head of state and head of government of Kolhar. The position was established in 1938 after the abolition of the Kolhari monarchy at the hands of Kulug Orus, the last King of Kolhar, as part of the Kulug reforms that established the modern state of Kolhar.

The position is officially directly elected for a term of five years, by citizens of Kolhar who have reached at least 20 years of age. However, every election for the position of Davil is considered by observers to have been rigged. The current Davil, Arez Brionan, assumed office in 2003 in a special session of the Congress of Kolhar following the death of his predecessor Amin Dumar. He first won office in the 2005 Kolhari general election, though the vote was widely considered by observers to be fraudulent.

Eligibility

The Constitution of Kolhar requires that a candidate for Davil be at least 25 years old, be fluent in the official language (Kolhari, and be a first-class citizen from birth. The final requirement in effect limits eligibility to those of the Okla clan.

Election

The constitution further states that the position of Davil shall be chosen by a popular vote by all citizens of Kolhar. First-class citizens older than 20 years are allowed to vote without any restrictions. However, second-class citizens are required to pay a hefty poll tax and pass a literacy test on top of being at least 20 years old. Furthermore, any citizen convicted of a felony automatically loses the right to vote. As a result, many Kolhari people are denied the right to vote, and the person who holds the position of Davil has free reign over who inherits it.
