The politics of Turkmenistan nominally takes place in the framework of a presidential republic, whereby the President of Turkmenistan is nominally both head of state and head of government. However, as of 21 January 2023 a "national leader" was appointed who chairs an independent People's Council (viz.) with authority to amend the constitution, and who exercises supreme political authority.[1][2][3] No true opposition parties are allowed; every registered political party supports the third and current President Serdar Berdimuhamedow.[4] The country is frequently described as a totalitarian state.[5]
