President of Warsaw |
The Mayor of Warsaw (in Polish "Prezydent") is the head of the capital of Poland.
Following the Warsaw Act (Ustawa warszawska) of October 27, 2002, the Mayor of Warsaw carries over most of the executive duties in the city. His or her prerogative is, among others, governing the city-owned property that still constitutes a major part of the city.
Between 1950 and 1973 the highest representative of the government in Warsaw was named the "Head of the Municipal Branch of the National Council" (Przewodniczący Prezydium Miejskiej Rady Narodowej)
