Politics
Mokhavia is a 'tribal federal republic' where the Qaxaama is the head of the state and government and the most powerful executive position. The political system has three branches — legislative, executive and judicial, with universal suffrage for citizens at least 18 years old. The Constitution also provides possibilities of direct democracy, namely petitions and national referenda. Elections are supervised by an independent Central Election Commission that includes members from all major political parties. Parties must register with the commission prior to participating in a national election. Normally, the Qaxaama-elect is the leader of the party receiving the most votes in parliamentary elections, although this is not always the case.
Political parties gather in the Qaxaamajkas̠ lus̠nujyk, a body of 170 deputies elected to four-year terms by direct popular vote. The Qalus̠nujyk Xaamajkas̠ has the power to enact laws, approve the budget, select and dismiss the Qaxaama and other ministers, declare war, deploy troops abroad, and ratify international treaties and agreements.
The current Qaxaama is Tysa Enetsi, who was reellected for a second term with a majority vote of 75% in 2018.
