The Presider of the Parliament Andoria is the head of government for the Andorian Empire, one of the founding Federation Members. (DS9 novel: Andor: Paradigm; ST - The Fall novel: A Ceremony of Losses) The Presider is chosen on the basis of who has the support of the majority of the Parliament Andoria, the Empire's democratic legislature. The office of Presider and its accompanying parliamentary democracy was founded in the 19th century by Thalisar the Last, the monarch who united Andor's warring clans and deliberately died childless so that her new parliamentary democracy would survive. (DS9 novel: Andor: Paradigm)
In 2155, six years prior to the signing of the Articles of the Federation, the Andorian head of government appears to have been referred to as Chancellor. That year, the Andorian Chancellor alerted the Aenar of the impending arrival of United Earth Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer and Andorian Imperial Guard Commander Hravishran th'Zoarhi as part of an ongoing investigation into the origins of a rogue ship attacking Andorian, Tellarite, and Rigellian vessels.
