Mayor of Gibraltar
The mayor is appointed by the elected Members of Parliament[1] and the office is situated at City Hall John Mackintosh Square.Joshua Hassan, MVO, QC, JP, the chairman of the city council at the time became the first mayor of Gibraltar.However, the mayor of Gibraltar survived, but only with a ceremonial character, and was to be elected by the House of Assembly (later the Parliament).[4] The 1969 Constitution stated:[3] A person elected to the office of Mayor shall hold office upon such terms and conditions, and shall perform such functions (being ceremonial functions of a civic character), as may be determined by the Governor, acting after consultation with the Gibraltar Council.Following the new 2006 Constitution, the mayor no longer had to be chosen from among the members of Parliament.The intention was to move to a new system whereby citizens from the community at large can be appointed mayor for a one-year period, although this can sometimes be for longer.
