Nasser City Council

Nasser City Council (Arabic: مجلس مدينة الناصر majlis madīnat an-nāṣir) is the legislative authority of Nasser City, the federal capital of the Arab Union, a transcontinental country and federation of 20 republics in North Africa and Western Asia. As Nasser City is not located within the jurisdiction of any particular republic, the city council's governmental authority is delegated unilaterally by the Arab Union federal government via the process of devolution, in the same manner as the territories of the Arab Union.

Nasser City Council uses the mayor–council form of government: the City Council consists of 25 councillors, 15 of whom are elected by residents of Nasser City who are eligible to vote, each representing a one of the city's 15 boroughs, while the remaining 10 councillors are appointed by the Mayor of Nasser City, who is elected in a separate city-wide election which occurs every five years, immediately before the City Council elections. The mayor is responsible for appointing his cabinet, which may not consist of City Council members, which act as the city's legislative authority.
