Nasser City Council

Nasser City Council (Arabic: مجلس مدينة الناصر majlis madīnat an-nāṣir) is the municipal corporation responsible for governing 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 10 territories of the Arab Union.

Nasser City Council uses the council–manager form of government: 15 city councillors are elected by residents of Nasser City who are eligible to vote, each councillor representing one of the city's 15 boroughs

The Nasser City Council acts as the city's legislative, executive and administrative authority; following a municipal election, which occurs triennially on 30 April, the 15 councillors appoint a manager to carry out the executive function by overseeing the city's various executive departments, which ultimately are agencies of the Nasser City Council. For example, the Nasser City Police Service answers to the Nasser City Ministry of Interior, which in turn answers to the Nasser City Council.
