It has to be the seat of the government of the country or province. Some countries such as South Africa have more than one capital, because different branches of government meet in different cities (the Parliament meets in Cape Town, but the President lives in Pretoria and the judiciary is located in Bloemfontein). Others, such as the Netherlands, have an official capital and a de facto capital (Amsterdam and Den Haag respectively).
