[[File:Queen Rutendo III of Iboma.png|thumb|272x272px|'''Illustration 3:''' By the Grace of the All-Mother, Her Majesty, [[Queen Rutendo III of Iboma]],
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. The Queen makes laws together with the bicameral National Assembly (composed of the Council of Peers and the Council of the People) 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 (''muKanziliri''), 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.
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 of the land and status of the [[Akronist Church of Iboma]] and rule according to the tenents of [[Akronism]].
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. Currently, the Council of Electors consists of the heads of the Houses of Nandi, Makeda, Asantwa, Ndzinga, Zwaditu and Mujaji who all hold the rank of Duchess and the top 5 ranked clerics of the Akronist Church of Iboma of which the Queen is the Supreme Guardian. In the early days of Iboma as a unified country, the Queenship rotated among the major houses, but with the ascension of Queen Mujaji II of the House of Mujaji as the head of the family that formerly ruled and maintained aristocratic titles with respect to the capital and largest city Komodu, the Queens have all come from the House of Mujaji since 1721 making Iboma a ''de facto'' matrilineal primogeniture and proximity of blood hereditary system.
The Queen can appoint and dismiss members of the Council of Elders as she sees fit, however she can only appoint as the Chancellor the leader of the largest party in the Council of the People on whose advise she appointed the members of the Executive Committee of the Council of Elders, commonly known as the Council of Ministers whose members have been delegated authority over the daily running of the country and collective decision-making and responsibility over most executive functions of government. ▼
▲The reigning Queen is Queen Rutendo III, of the House of Mujaji who ascended at the age of 64 in 1998 and is the eldest daughter of the preceding Queen Makadzi II who passed away at the age of 101 and her heir presumptive is her eldest daughter Princess Liyana, the Duchess of Nkurunza and her consort is Lady Mutunde, Countess of Ntshimirara.The Queen can appoint and dismiss members of the Council of Elders as she sees fit, however she can only appoint as the Chancellor the leader of the largest party in the Council of the People on whose advise she appointed the members of the Executive Committee of the Council of Elders, commonly known as the Council of Ministers whose members have been delegated authority over the daily running of the country and collective decision-making and responsibility over most executive functions of government. Each member is known as a State Councillor and heads a national executive department known as the State Office of which the most powerful are the State Offices of Justice and Police, Finance and Economics, Defence, Homeland Security and Home Affairs.
The incumbent Chancellor and Head of Her Majesty's Government is Rufaro ng'Asanda, the President of the Iboma National Congress (INC, ''lwuKhongolose lwaMhumolwohe 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 lwuDemokratiki 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 lwalwuYumbura 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 (''lwuZiko lwiNtshunengete lwalwuDjumburisha lw'Iboma''), including for the position of the Chief Justice of Iboma, currently Nushamba nga Sumaya, the Chancellor can receive nominations from the Judicial Committee of the Council of the People and
