The Tokapa Municipal Assembly (''Huihuinga o te Taonenui Tokapa'') is elected by eligible residents of the city every 4 years in line with elections for all local governments in the Oan Isles. The assembly has the power to pass by-laws, hold the executive branch of the city accountable and approve the Mayor's candidates for the Municipal Council. Seated in the city's central business district, most of its members serve part-time. In the most recent elections, the Pacifist Party is the largest party by one vote. Together with the [[Green Party of the Oan Isles]], they hold 70% of the seats. Remaining seats are held by the Konoa and Allied People's Party, Tokapa Ratepayers Association and independent candidates. The Mayor (''Koromatua'') is elected by the eligible residents of the city when a vacancy arises or their term ends every four years through run-off voting. The Mayor directs the work of the city administration, reports to the Municipal Assembly, chairs meetings of the Municipal Council (''Kaunihera o te Taonenui'') and appoints its members. The Municipal Council develops and administers programs and initiatives in line with national directives, and proposes and executes by-laws.
 
As the capital, the seats of all branches of the Oan government - the National Assembly, Council of Ministers and [[Supreme Court of the Oan Isles]] - as well as the residence of the Emperor of Polynesia[[Rangitanga-a-te-Moana]], the [[Palace of Putangitangi]], are located in the city. Proximity to the national government and control over arguably the most important city in the country, has given politicians from this city an accelerated trajectory into national politics. It is also the home of all foreign embassies.
