Malta

In Malta’s parliamentary republic, the roles of the president and prime minister are distinct:

  • President: Appointed by the parliament, the president serves as the head of state. In this capacity, the president acts on the advice of the cabinet.1
  • Prime Minister: The prime minister serves as the head of government and leads the cabinet.1

Malta operates as a unitary multiparty republic with a unicameral House of Representatives, a system modeled after the British parliamentary structure.12
