Eritrea Government:
At
present, Eritrea is a single party state and the only political
party recognized by the Eritrean government is the People’s
Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ). The party is headed by
current Eritrean President Isaias Aferwerki. Changes to laws governing
political parties in the country were proposed in 2001 and are
yet to be debated.
The country’s current constitution was
adopted in 1997. Eritrean citizens 18 years and over have the
right to vote. The President is elected by the national assembly
whose
members are elected by popular public vote.

With Asmara as its capital, Eritrea is divided into six administrative
regions known as Zobatat. These regions each have their administrative
headquarters. The regions are; Anseba, Debub (Southern), Debubawi
K’eyih Bahri (Southern Red Sea), Gash Barka, Ma’akel
(Central), Semenawi Keyih Bahri (Northern Red Sea).
