Revision as of 20:26, 20 January 2019

The Kingdom of Sydalon has had an official head of government since 1921, after the enactment of the 1919 constitution and the formation of the First Secretary. There have been 19 heads of government, one of which was head of a government in exile. The longest serving head of government was Belandra de Magro, Lady de Magro, who served from 1975 until 1992 for a total 17 years; the shortest official term was held by Adeodata Saabi, who served for three months from October 2017 until January 2018.

The position was first created out of the First Secretary of the Council of State, an unelected advisory body for the Monarch. The official power of the office remained weak, and appointed by the Monarch to serve a term that lasted until the Monarch lost confidence in the the sitting First Secretary. All First Secretary were required to be Senators on the Chamber of Peers, whether they held a hereditary seat or were appointed. Until 1946, there were no restrictions to prevent the First Secretary to be a member of political parties, but following the sudden abdication of King William VII, amid the Sydalene occupation of the Yarden River Valley, newly anointed Queen Elissa IV sought to remove the overly nationalist influences on the office of First Secretary. This ushered in the era of non-partisan First Secretaries, with a Royal decree mandating that the head of the Royal government would not be a member of any political party. Though officially abolishing political party influences in the Chamber of Peers, factions continued to persist despite Elissa IV's attempts.
