Politics of Djibouti takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the executive power is exercised by the president and the Government. Legislative power is vested in both the Government and the National Assembly. The party system and legislature are dominated by the socialist People's Rally for Progress. In April 2010, a new constitutional amendment was approved. The president serves as both the head of state and head of government, and is directly elected for single six-year term. Government is headed by the president, who appoints the prime minister and the Council of Ministers on the proposal of the latter. There is also a 65-member chamber of deputies, where representatives are popularly elected for terms of five years. Administratively, the country is divided into five regions and one city, with eleven additional sub-prefecture subdivisions. Djibouti is also part of various international organisations, including the United Nations and Arab League.
