Guyana has a 53-member unicameral legislature, the national assembly, whose members are chosen by proportional representation. The national assembly elects the president, who is the chief executive and the head of state. The president appoints a cabinet and prime minister. Guyana's politics largely reflect its ethnic differences. The leading parties are the socialist People's National Congress (PNC), the Marxist-oriented People's Progressive party (PPP), the conservative United Force party (UF), and the Alliance for Guyana (AFG). There are ten administrative regions in the country. Guyana is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.
