On 26 May 1966, the colony achieved independence from the United Kingdom as Guyana. After independence, the viceroy in Guyana was the Governor-General of Guyana.
Republic of Independent Guiana
suntingRepublic (1886โ1891)
suntingThe borders between France and the Empire of Brazil were not clear. Attempts at negotiations failed, and in 1862, it was decided that the area between the Amazon and the Oyapock rivers was a neutral territory. Paul Quartier, who had previously visited the territory in 1883, returned in 1885 and had a meeting with the village chiefs of Counani and Carsewenne (nowadays: Calรงoene) who were hostile to the Brazilians.[8][9] Quartier signed a treaty on 23 July 1886, creating the country of Counani in the disputed area.[10]
A government was set up in Counani[11] led by Jules Gros as President, Guigues as Minister of State and Quartier as Quartermaster. They set about recruiting settlers, and according to Le Gaulois, received over 3,000 requests.[8] Both France and Brazil did not like what was happening and released a joint statement on 11 September 1887 stating that the Republic of Counani was not recognized.[8] Gros was later deposed by his officials, and the death of Gros in 1891 resulted in the end of the short lived first Republic.[12]
In 1894, gold was discovered in the Calรงoene River, which resulted in a declaration of another autonomous state under Brazilian protection by general Francisco Cabral.[8] In May 1895, Cabral arrested the village chief of Calรงoene who had changed sides to the French. Camille Charvein, the Governor of French Guiana, sent troops to Mapรก (nowadays: Amapรก), and forced Cabral to retreat. 6 French, alongside 30 Brazilian soldiers and civilians, were killed during the battle, with an additional 60 French casualties.[9] In 1897, France and Brazil asked Switzerland to settle the dispute, and most of the territory of the former state of Counani was given to Brazil in what is nowadays the state of Amapรก.[8]
Free State of Counani (1901โ1904)
sunting

In 1901 a Frenchman named Adolphe Brezet proclaimed himself "Prรฉsident de l'รtat libre de Counani".[12] According to newspaper articles based on Brezet's statements, he was elected democratically in 1901.[13]
This "special" State had a constitution, a flag and issued some stamps. It was never recognized by Brazil or France, but the South African Boer Republics opened diplomatic relations with Brezet (who had fought for them previously) during the Boer Wars.[14] In 1904, Japan and Russia asked for vessels which Brezet didn't have, and thus exposed himself to France and Brazil. Nevertheless he claimed to be a president until 1911 when he was exiled to London.[15] In 1913, he claimed support of the British navy in a plan to recapture Counani.[13]
Claimants of Head of State
sunting- Jules Gros (1829โ1891) โ a French journalist who laid claim as head of state from 1887 to 1891; he was Secretary of the Sociรฉtรฉ de gรฉographie in 1883[12]
- Francisco Xavier da Veiga Cabral - a Brazilian general (1894-1895)[8]
- Adolphe Brezet - a French military officer (1901โ1904)[12]

Governor-general
suntingThe governor-general was the representative of the monarch in Guyana and exercised most of the powers of the monarch. The governor-general was appointed for an indefinite term, serving at the pleasure of the monarch. Since Guyana was granted independence by the Guyana Independence Act 1966, rather than being first established as a semi-autonomous dominion and later promoted to independence as defined by the Statute of Westminster 1931, the governor-general was to be always appointed solely on the advice of the Cabinet of Guyana without the involvement of the British government, with the sole exception of Richard Luyt, the former colonial governor, who served as governor-general temporarily until he was replaced by David Rose. In the event of a vacancy the Chancellor (the head of the judicial branch, serving directly above the Chief Justice of Guyana) would have served as the officer administering the government.
Following is a list of people who have served as Governor-General of Guyana.

President of Guyana
suntingUnder the Constitution of 1970, the first constitution of the Republic of Guyana, the president replaced the monarch as ceremonial head of state. The president was elected by the National Assembly for a six-year term. In the event of a vacancy the Chancellor (the head of the judicial branch, serving directly above the Chief Justice of Guyana) served as acting president. In 1980, the powers of the president were increased, with the establishment of the executive presidency.
Currently, the president is both head of state and head of government and, pursuant to article 91 of the Constitution, is directly elected on the basis of the votes cast in the general election. On Nomination Day, each list of contesting parties designate a member of their list as that party's presidential candidate. The presidential candidate whose party's list of candidates receives the most votes is elected president. In the event of a vacancy, the prime minister becomes president.
