peer agreement (net): +4deputy mayor of Douala Explanation: Often, in France and former colonies, deputies and vice-president are ranked for hierarchical and protocol reasons. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2009-04-02 15:38:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- vice presidentS -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-04-02 16:40:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The mayor is the elected chair of the city council. Several deputies (adjoints) are also elected and are usually 'in charge' of specific aspects (like in a cabinet). They are ranked and for instance when the mayor is not available, the 1st 'adjoint' chairs the city council meeting and, if not available, the second and so on. Look at 'Les membres du conseil' in the following site: http://www.ville-loudun.fr/pages/viemunicipale/conseil.php You will find the same system in parliaments with the president (speaker) and the vice presidents ranked mostly for protocol and devolution of power/responsibility. |
