The politics of Iboma take place in the framework of a multiparty liberal representative democracy under an elected constitutional monarchy whereby the Queen of Iboma is the head of state, nominal chief executive and commander in chief of the armed forces. The Queen makes laws together with the bicameral National Assembly and most of the daily running of the country is delegated by convention and statute to the Council of Ministers with the chair, the Chancellor, being the ''de facto'' head of government as the leader of the largest party of the National Assembly. The judicial functions of the Crown have been fully delegated to the judiciary, at the head of which is the Supreme Chamber of Justice.
The politics of Iboma take place in the framework of a multiparty liberal representative democracy under an elected constitutional monarchy whereby the Queen of Iboma (''muTendo mw'Iboma'') is the head of state, nominal chief executive and commander in chief of the armed forces.

When the Queen's reign ends due to death, abdication or declaration of permanent incapacity by the Council of State, the Council of State holds the Crown and exercises most royal prerogatives. It appoints a Regent to rule the country and summons the Council of Electors to choose a new Queen. Once a new Queen is named, she must take an Oath to uphold the laws and status of the Akronist Church of Iboma and rule according to the tenents of Akronism. She is then invested with the symbols of monarchical and spiritual officials and subsequently becomes the Queen. She can then dissolve and reconstitute the Council of State as she sees fit. The Queen can remove Electors and appoint new ones from among the nobility and clergy of Iboma.

The incumbent Chancellor is Rufaro ng'Asanda, the President of the Iboma National Congress (INC, ''lwuKhongolose lw'Mhumolwohe lw'Iboma''), the largest party in the Council of the People. Isabela ng'Fumanda is the Leader of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition as the Federal Leader of the Iboma Democratic Alliance (IDA, ''lwuZambararohe lw'Demokratiki lw'Iboma''), second largest party in the Council of the People. The INC, is a centre left organisation that has run the country for a period of 50 years while the IDA has run the country for 40 years and is a centre right party. The other major party is the People's Freedom Front (''lwuFronti lw'Yumbura lwaBhantfu'') which has run the country in as a leading coalition member for a total of 15 years and is led by the Central Command Leader Mhumiya ng'Shambari. There are many other parties that comprise the Council of the People but due to the first-past-the-post system of single member constituencies where district boundaries are drawn by the Electoral Committee of the Council of the People which heavily weights the two or three biggest parties, districts hardly change the main party.

When a vacancy arises in the Supreme Chamber of Justice of Iboma, including for the position of the Chief Justice of Iboma, the Chancellor can receive nominations from the Judicial Committee of the Council of the People and advice the Queen on which of the nominations to appoint. Supreme Chamber is the last body to which judicial decisions can be appealed and it only listens to appeals. Beneath lights the High Chamber of Justice which both listens to appeals and deals with issues beyond the jurisdiction of lesser judicial bodies and consists of divisions distributed throughout the country. Justice is dispensed in Queen's name by judges who ascend to their positions by meritocratic appointment.
