In the Igbo political system, the most senior member of the council of elders is the Okpara. The Igbo political system was based on the village as a political unit.
A village is then seen as made up of a group of related families. Each family head held the Ofo title and all of them put together formed the council of elders. The council of elders governed the village. Among the Ofo title holders, one of them was regarded as the most senior to as the Okpara and he had the right to preside over the council of elders meetings.
