The Government of Ghana was created as a parliamentary democracy, followed by alternating military and civilian governments in Ghana. In January 1993, military government gave way to the Fourth Republic after presidential and parliamentary elections in late 1992. The 1992 constitution divides powers among a president, parliament, cabinet, council of state, and an independent judiciary. The government is elected by universal suffrage.
A presidential system, or single executive system, is a form of government in which a head of government, typically with the title of president, leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch in systems that use separation of powers. This head of government is in most cases also the head of state. In a presidential system, the head of government is directly or indirectly elected by the people and is not responsible to the legislature, and the legislature cannot dismiss the president except in extraordinary cases. A presidential system contrasts with a parliamentary system, where the head of government comes to power by gaining the confidence of an elected legislature.

It was approved by 98.55% of voters with a 92.53% turnout.
A constitutional referendum was held in the Central African Republic on 21 November 1986, following a military coup in 1981. The new constitution would make the country a one-party state with the Central African Democratic Rally as the sole legal party. The presidential term was to be set at six years, with no term limits. Under its provisions, André Kolingba, who had led the military regime since 1981, was automatically elected as president. It was approved by 92.22% of voters with an 87.6% turnout.
General elections were held in the Central African Republic on 25 October 1992 to elect a President and National Assembly.

However, the results of both elections were annulled by the Supreme Court due to widespread irregularities. Fresh elections were held the following year.
Parliamentary elections were held in the Central African Republic on 22 November 1998, with a second round in 71 of the 109 constituencies on 13 December. Although the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People won the most seats, all other parties with the exception of the Liberal Democratic Party and five of the independents formed an alliance known as the Union of Forces for Peace and Development (UFAP). In constituencies where there was a second round, parties in the alliance supported the leading candidate from their bloc. As a result, the UFAP won a total of 55 seats, giving it a majority in the National Assembly.
