The Fijian Government operates as a parliamentary democracy, where the President serves as the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government. The government is divided into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judiciary. The Parliament consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which work together to create and pass laws. Fiji's political system is influenced by its diverse population, which includes various ethnic groups. The Constitution of Fiji outlines the rights of citizens and the structure of government. Elections are held every four years, allowing citizens to choose their representatives and participate in the democratic process.
