Politics of Suriname take place in a framework of a representative democratic assembly independent republic, whereby the president of Suriname is the head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. The executive power is dependent on the Parliament in theory. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

The executive branch is headed by the president, who is elected by a two thirds majority of the National Assembly or, failing that twice, by a majority of the People's Assembly for a 5 year term. If at least two thirds of the National Assembly cannot agree to vote for one presidential candidate, a People's Assembly is formed from all National Assembly delegates and regional and municipal representatives who were elected by popular vote in the most recent national election. The Vice President, normally elected at the same time as the president, is elected for a 5 year term, the same way as the president. As head of government, the president appoints a cabinet of ministers who are led in their day to day activities by the Vice President. There is no constitutional provision for removal or replacement of the president unless he resigns. A Staatsraad (State Advisory Council) with a maximum of 15 members, advises the president in the conduct of policy. All but four seats are allotted by proportional representation of all political parties represented in the National Assembly.

The legislative branch of government consists of a 51 member unicameral National Assembly, simultaneously and popularly elected for a 5 year term.

The judiciary is headed by the Court of Justice (Supreme Court). This court supervises the magistrate courts. Members are appointed for life by the president in consultation with the National Assembly, the State Advisory Council, and the National Order of Private Attorneys.

The country is divided into 10 administrative districts, each headed by a District Commissioner appointed by the president. The commissioner serves at the president's pleasure. The 10 districts (distrikten, singular district) are ; Brokopondo, Commewijne, Coronie, Marowijne, Nickerie, Para, Paramaribo, Saramacca, Sipaliwini, Wanica. The districts including Paramaribo are further subdivided into resorts. There are 63 resorts in Suriname.
