ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Deputy governor

Okay kiddo, do you know how in school you have a teacher who is in charge of the class and helps the principal run the school? Well, in some places, like the government, there are people who help the boss too. They are called deputies.

A deputy governor is someone who assists the governor, or the head honcho, of a state or territory in some countries. Think of it as the governor's sidekick! They help make important decisions, like how to spend money, and work to make sure things are running smoothly in the state they are in charge of.

But, just like in a class, if the governor is ever unable to do their job or has to step down, the deputy governor becomes the new leader. It's like when the teacher has to leave the classroom for a bit, the deputy governor takes over until the governor can return.

That's about it, kiddo! Deputy governors are important helpers who work with the governor to run a state, and they can become the leader if needed.
