Panamanian Government

The Panamanian government is a democratic republic with a president as the head of state and government. It has a multi-party political system and a national assembly that creates laws. The president is elected by voters for a five-year term, and the legislative body includes deputies representing various districts. Panama's government also respects a judiciary that interprets laws. The country emphasizes democratic principles, ensuring citizen participation and periodic elections, all within a framework that protects individual rights and promotes stability and economic growth, especially given Panama's strategic importance due to the Panama Canal.
