Governance
Kuala Lumpur was administered by a corporation sole called the Federal Capital Commissioner from April 1, 1961, until it was awarded city status in 1972, after which executive power was transferred to the Lord Mayor (Datuk Bandar). Nine mayors have been appointed since then. The current mayor is Ahmad Phesal Talib, who has been in office since July 18, 2012.
