President

Republics in the Commonwealth

""There are 31 republics in the Commonwealth with a president as the head of state, 20 of which are executive and 11 non-executive presidencies. Following the London Declaration of 1949 which allowed the Commonwealth to admit and retain members that were not Commonwealth realms, India was the first Commonwealth country to become a presidential republic in 1950. This opened the way for other countries which adopted republican constitutions to become Commonwealth members.
