The Communist Party, as a vanguard party, is constitutionally guaranteed as the "leading and guiding force of society', with ultimate control over all state and public organizations. Opposition parties and factions are banned and not permitted to run.
The country is officially a parliamentary republic, with a prime minister which serves as head of government and a president who is indirectly elected to serve as head of state. In practice, the General Secretary of the Communist Party is the highest position in the country and is de-facto leader.
The legislature is the unicameral National Assembly composed of 750 members.
