The office of the President of Malta, known in Maltese as ''President ta' Malta'', came into being on 13 December 1974 , when Malta became a Republic within the Commonwealth . Queen Elizabeth II ceased to be Head Of State , and the last Governor-General , Sir Anthony Mamo , became the first President of the Republic. Like the British monarch, however, the President of Malta is a constitutional head of state, with executive power remaining with the Prime Minister . The President is elected by the Unicameral House of Representatives, known in Maltese as ''Kamra tar-Rappreżentanti''. The first woman to hold the post of President was the late Agatha Barbara , a former Labour government minister. The current President is Eddie Fenech Adami . PRESIDENT'S FLAG Until 1988 , there was no flag for the President of Malta, who instead used the national flag, but in that year a new flag was introduced, with the coat of arms on a blue field, and a traditional Maltese Cross in gold in each corner.
