The president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, was elected for a further term in 2012. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects him to remain in power over the forecast period.
Despite the participation of a new party in the 2013 parliamentary election, and the creation of another new party in September 2014, government accountability will remain weak and the political system authoritarian.
