The president of Mava, officially the President of the Republic of Mava (Mavean: Lippikágak á’at Naigál'yaké 'a Máva) is the head of state of Mava. The president is elected by the Assembly for a term of three years, which may be renewed. By convention, the president is jointly nominated by the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition in order to ensure the absence of political preference or partisanship. The current president, since 11 January 2023, is Nua Kiuiáké

The office was established as an interim position in the Mavean Independence Act, passed by the Atitlanese Congress. The position was formalised and made permanent in the 1925 constitution, which established a presidential system of government. Reforms in 1943, following the death of inaugural president Kuráva Tanigak, transformed the position into a ceremonial office and transferred executive powers to the government. Since then, the president has served as a "symbol of the unity of the people of the Republic", with little direct role in day-to-day governance.

The powers of the president include the appointment of the prime minister and government, the summoning and dissolving of the Assembly, and the promulgation of laws. These powers are exercised through the Council of State, an advisory body to the president.

Oath of office

The President of Mava is required to take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Mava as well as to the Mavean people before being permitted to assume their office. The oath of allegiance is as follows:

"I, [Name], do solemly affirm true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the Republic of Mava as by law established, and that I will well and truly serve the People of the Republic of Mava in the office of President. [So help me God]."
