In a parliamentary government, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislature (parliament), which often leads to a fusion of powers rather than a strict separation. The head of government, typically the prime minister, is usually a member of the parliament and is elected by fellow members, allowing for more cohesive policy-making. This system often enables more efficient governance but can also lead to instability if coalition governments are formed.

A key difference between a parliamentary government and a presidential government lies in the structure of executive power. In a parliamentary system, the executive branch is led by a prime minister who is chosen from the legislative branch, while in a presidential system, the president is elected separately from the legislature and holds both ceremonial and executive powers. Additionally, parliamentary systems often allow for more flexibility in government formation and dissolution through votes of no confidence, whereas presidential systems have fixed terms for the executive leader.
In a presidential government, the president is both chief executive and head of state.
