TheExecutive Branch of Government in Colombia is one of the three branches of thegovernment ofColombia under theConstitutional provision ofseparation of powers. The executive branch consists of thePresident of Colombia[1] (elected by popular vote for a 4-year term) and its collaborating institutions; mainly theCouncil of Ministers (includingMilitary andlaw enforcement agencies) andadministrative departments supporting the executive branch (appointed by the president).
Eachdepartment (province) is led by a "department governor" with delegatory functions from the President of Colombia to govern in its respective department. Governors are elected representative of the municipalities that form a department. Each governor also appoints a local cabinet; the "department secretaries" to support its governing duties.
Furthermore, eachmunicipality in Colombia is governed by a mayor (alcalde), which in turn delegates for the president of Colombia and the department governor within its municipal jurisdiction.
