List of Governors of Oceana

The Oceana flag

Incumbent Governor Oos Wes Ilava.

When Andy McCandless ran for Governor in 2010, he was relatively new to Oceana state politics

This is the full list of Governors of Oceana, starting from 1905. A unique feature of Oceanan governors is that there has never been a female governor. Also, there are significantly less Governors that were re-elected than in other states.

The incumbent Governor is Oos Wes Ilava of the CCPL. Narrowly defeated in the state elections of 2010, he was promoted from the position of Deputy Governor after the previous governor Andy McCandless was hospitalised. It is currently the only state with a conservative governor. Ilava had been governor before, in 2008.

Competencies and powers

According to the Constitution, it is the Governor's task to govern the state as far as "local government that does not interfere with federal law and government" is concerned. He or she is entitled to maintain urban parks, public places, streets, markets, roads, waterways and naturally, environmentally or culturally significant places. One of the Governor's powers is the construction and planning of neighborhoods and hamlets. It is also his task to inform the state population about the various aspects of government. The Governor takes up the role of an adviser in Congressial debates concerning his or her state.
