The President of New Batavia is the ceremonial head-of-state of the Islamic Republic. He is elected via general election for a six months term.
The Virtual United Provinces were established in 2007 and featured a presidential system of government. The Stadtholder (Stadhouder) was the chief executive. In 2008 the nation became a parliamentary republic and the office of President or Chairman (Voorzitter van de Republiek) was created. Since then, the office didn't change much, except for the actual title. It was changed to Sadr in 2010 and again to President in 2020.
President Saladin used his reserve powers once since the Restoration, when he refused to the sign the treaty between Hurmu and New Batavia because it was in English. The Supreme Court followed the President's argument. The treaty was subsequently translated into Dutch and re-submitted to the Majlis-ash-Shura.

The Islamic Diwan of the Islamic Republic of New Batavia is the so called "advisory branch", next to the legislative, executive and judiciary branches of government. It was established by the constitution of the Third Republic on June 11, 2010. It's similar in nature to the Islamic State Council of the Islamic Republic of Antverpia. Before a law is passed by the Majlis-ash-Shoera, it needs the advice of the Islamic Diwan, although this advice is non-binding.
The Diwan is composed of ordinary, extra-ordinary and co-opted members. At least half of the ordinary members have to be muslim by faith. It is in fact the only Islamic institution in the Islamic Republic. All other institutions are secular in nature.
