Power flows through the elected legislature
Derived from system type and role classification
Guyana is a parliamentary democracy where executive power flows from the legislature. The prime minister leads the government based on a parliamentary majority, while the president typically serves a more ceremonial role — making legislative elections the primary driver of political change.
Guyana — parliamentary republic, located in South America, with approximately 879k people — is a sovereign state governed from Georgetown.
In Guyana's parliamentary system, the prime minister governs through a legislative majority. A president may still exist, but the real day-to-day executive power usually sits with the cabinet and the bloc that can command parliament.
Guyana's political landscape includes 35 political parties and 2 offices.
