Governor-General of the Solomon Islands - Definition and Overview

The Governor-General of the Solomon Islands is the defacto Head of State of the Solomon Islands, representing Queen Elizabeth II, who is styled "Queen of the Solomon Islands."

Unlike the governor generals of many other Commonwealth Realms, the Governor-General of the Solomons is elected by parliament to a five-year term.

Though the office holds considerable reserve powers, it is largely a symbolic figurehead position with little day-to-day involvement in government.

The current Governor General is the Right Honorable Sir Nathaniel Waena.
