Relations between the mayor and members of the assembly are very important because good leadership and good relations contribute in effective participation of members of the assembly in good governance.  

The main role of the administration is to support the mayor in his/her work. This includes implementing the goals and strategies of the mayor, managing the provision of municipal services and providing advice and support. The administration can improve good governance by being familiar and supporting the legal obligations.

Relations between the central government and the municipality reflect the dynamics of the horizontal and vertical power between one-another, and consequences concerning the autonomy and discretion that municipality has as against the control and direction of the central government.
