Executive Branch of Colombia
The Executive Branch of Government in Colombia is one of the three branches of the
administrative departments
supporting the executive branch (appointed by the president).
Each department (province) is led by a "department governor" with derogatory functions from the President of Colombia to govern in its respective department. Governors are elected representative of the municipalities that form a department. Each governor also appoints a local cabinet; the "department secretaries" to support its governing duties.
Furthermore, each municipality in Colombia is governed by a mayor (alcalde), which in turn derogates for the president of Colombia and the department governor within its municipal jurisdiction.
