Parties & Governance 政党与政体

Hulian’s system of government is known as “two parties and one council”: the Hulian Republican Party and the Hulian Democratic Party are the two parties officially recognised and authorised by the Government and carry state-level administrative responsibilities under the law, while the Xinghua People’s Union Association is a supervisory council independent of the Hulian Government.

The system of government

Two parties and one council

The Hulian Republican Party and the Hulian Democratic Party hold governmental management authority and state-level administrative powers, and each discharges its duties under the Constitution and the laws. The Xinghua Council stands independent of the Government and reviews the lawfulness, fairness and democratic character of the Government’s work. Together the three form Hulian’s constitutional landscape.

The chairman is appointed by the Council’s general committee: after Huang Kexin resigned the chairmanship of her own accord, the general committee appointed Huang Shuxian, Minister of Finance of Hulian, to succeed her with effect from 20 September 2025.

President of Hulian

The President of Hulian (abbreviated HL-P) is Hulian’s head of state and head of government. The office was established by the Hulian Constitution adopted in 2007 and exercises the executive power conferred by the Constitution. The incumbent is Huang Ziyi, who took office on 20 March 2023 and also chairs the Hulian Republican Party.

The Hulian Civil Service Act, in force since 2010, provides that the President serves a three-year term and may be re-elected, provided that the total period in office does not exceed nine years; a person who has served as President, or discharged the duties of President, for more than two years may not subsequently be elected President more than once.
