The political structure comprises the State Council, the executive body (government) headed by the Premier of the State Council (Prime Minister), and the National People's Congress, the highest legislative body, made up of around 3,000 deputies indirectly elected for five-year terms. The President of the Republic, who also holds the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party, serves as head of state. Xi Jinping has held the presidency since 2013.
