POLITICAL SYSTEM

The three branches are : 

the Legislative - the part that makes laws,

the Executive - the part that carries out ( executes) the laws, and

the Judiciary - the courts that decide if the law has been broken.

These Separation of Powers helps to make sure people are safe. The executive branch carries out the laws but cannot make laws to make themselves powerful. Also the judiciary is responsible for making sure that criminals are punished so that members of the government or legislature cannot ignore the law as the judiciary can check on them.

The Executive carries out the day-to-day government and administration of Biafraland. It proposes laws to the parliament and executes the laws passed by the parliament. The Executive is formed from the majority party or parties in Biafra Parliament. Members of the Executive (Directorate of State) are all members of either the Biafra Parliament or National Legislature. The operation of the Executive and the Parliament are inextricably intertwined.

• There shall be a Prime Minister who is the head of government and leader of a multi-party System in Biafraland. 
• The Prime Minister selects and may dismiss other members of the cabinet, and allocates posts to members within the government.
