When Guyana was declared a republic in 1970, the president was elected by the National Assembly for a five-year term and possessed largely ceremonial powers. After a 1980 referendum, the constitution was amended to make the president chief executive officer. The leader of the majority party or coalition in the National Assembly automatically becomes president and holds office for the Assembly's duration, with a maximum term of five years.
