Under the country's 1966, 1994 and 1995 constitutions, the president is executive head of state. The first president, Hastings Banda, was elected by the National Assembly and subsequently had himself declared president for life in 1970. He was defeated in 1994, a year after his life term was abolished as part of Malawi's transition to democracy. Since then, presidents have been elected in direct popular elections for a five year term. Presidents may be elected any number of times, but not more than twice in a row. In the event of a vacancy, the vice president becomes president for the balance of the term.
