The Council of State has the power to declare by a majority vote of a quorate sitting the Queen as permanently incapacitated thereby ending her reign. The Queen's reign can also end if she passed away or abdicates. When the Queen's reign ends, the Council of State is said to hold to the Crown in trust. This means that it exercises all the powers of the Crown until a new Queen is elected. It can appoint a Regent until the Council of Electors votes for a new Queen. A Regent exercise all the functions of the Queen but they cannot remove or appoint members of the Council of Electors or the Council of State. The Council of State normally issues a summons for the members of the Council of Electors to attend a meeting to elect the Queen. The Council of State is appointed by the preceding Queen while she is on the throne. The current Council of State consists of:

* Chairwoman: Lady Raminda nga Mfuraniya, 7th Countess of Hungura (appointed in 2012)

* 12th Baroness Ndjamira, the Profound Estimable Thongayi nga Lupumbuwa (appointed in 2015)

* Lady Famida nga Tshipina, 5th Duchess of Mburambura

* Lady Kudzayi nga Pfuruwani, 16th Duchess of Yamambira

 

The Council of State can by a majority vote of a quorate sitting declare the Queen temporarily incapacitated and appoint a Regent to assume her roles and duties until she returns and her temporary incapacity is concluded. This happens if the Queen goes missing or gets an illness that she needs to convalesce. However, the Queen can appoint a Regent of her own will if she intends to temporarily rest or intends to be away.
