The municipal council additionally elects one of its own to serve as mayor, a largely ceremonial role, and appoints a member of the county council.

The mayor has a similar function to a ceremonial head of state. As they are always a member of the municipal council, they have legislative powers, but their vote is not weighted any more heavily than its other members. Besides this, their primary functions are to act as a representative of the municipality and a local personality who serves as a liaison between the public and the government. Since 2020, the mayor of Raklinn Parish has been Tanel Masing.

Pondiches

***Pondiches*** are a Tirian ethnic group in Tahare, and one of the two main Tirian ethnic groups of Tahare along with the *Zaros*. As the Maronan census does not ask residents about their race or ethnicity, there is no official count of how many *Pondiches* reside in Tahare, but estimations identify 25% of the Taharian population as being *Pondiche* or *Zaro*, totaling approximately 209,387 people.

In Tahare, *Pondiches* refers to Taharian residents of South Tirian Namil ancestry. The majority of Namils in Tahare arrived in the 19th century as indentured servants, working on plantations to replace the newly emancipated enslaved population, and by the end of the century and beginning of the 20th century, as construction workers. Unlike other ethnic groups in Tahare, the Namils remained relatively isolated in their own communities, and largely did not practice intermarriage with other groups, creating a distinct Namil community within Tahare. In the 19th and early-20th centuries, many Namil indentured servants remained in Tahare after completing their work contracts, becoming successful local businessmen and bringing wives to Tahare from their home villages in Tiria. *Pondiche* refers exclusively to Taharians of predominantly Namil ancestry, and does not include Taharians descended from Tiro-Escarian women brought to Tahare as wives for the original Maronan settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries, or Taharians of non-Namil Tirian ancestry.

The first Namil indentured servants in Tahare were mandated by the Maronan government to convert to Eurean Catholicism, although this practice was abolished by 1875. For Namils that migrated to Tahare following the abolishment of this regulation, the majority practice Tirism, while small minorities practice Eurean Islam. Once widely spoken in Tahare, the Namil and Tiri languages have since fallen out of use, and have been replaced by Maronan and Taharian Creole. In modern-day Tahare, *Pondiches* are commonly considered to be amongst the most economically prosperous in Tahare, with many pursuing careers as businesspeople, doctors, and lawyers. While *Pondiches* can be found in all regions of Tahare, they make up a significant portion of the southern region within the Saint-Philippe métropole.
