The leader of the opposition is also appointed by the President. That person is a member of the house of representatives and who, according to the President, is best able to command the support of the greatest number of members of the house of representatives who do not support the government.
The opposition is extremely important in making sure that the government’s decision-making processes are transparent and can stand up to scrutiny, by holding them to account for decisions and actions taken.
