As per new constitution (is it a new constitution or just an agreement among the political parties?), President gets nationally elected while the Prime Minister gets appointed by the the party which has the majority in the parliament. Is that right?
If so, will the Executive Branch rest with the President or the Prime Minister? Will the President have a cabinet of ministers (secretaries) and the PM functions much like Speaker of the House, like in the United States? Or, will the President's role stays ceremonial and the country is run by the PM and his ministers?
If latter, does it make sense? President can rightlfully assert power over the PM given that s/he was elected by the nation to the position while the Prime Minister is there just because of his/her standing in the party?
Also, if the country is to have 6 zones, so to speak, then how is it sliced? Will each of these zones have its own government?
Just trying to make sense of this new situation.
