| Constitution |
The politics of Transnistria, an unrecognised de facto state situated de jure within the Republic of Moldova in Eastern Europe, take place in a framework of a semi-presidential republic, whereby the president is head of state and the prime minister is head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament. Officially, Transnistria has a multi-party system and a unicameral parliament, called the Supreme Council. The president is elected by popular vote. The latest parliamentary elections were held in November 2020.
Political parties from Moldova do not recognize the Transnistrian government and do not participate at elections organized by it.
