Answer 1

See, I am no expert in social sciences, but I can try to help you here.

Now the sentence goes like that the president can never claim the kind of popular mandate that the prime minister can. This ensure that the president remains only a nominal executive. What does this mean?

This sentence means, that our country has a prime ministerial rule, rather than a presidential rule. That means the prime minister has all the authority, over the government, over the state and is responsible for decision making. But, on the other hand, the president executes no such power. The president is just a ceremonial head you may say, he has no power over that state whatsoever.

You can compare this to government in England (correct me if I am wrong), where the Queen is just someone who they will show their head, but she doesn't executes any power. All the power is with the prime minister, they make the decisions for the country. The same thing is in our country.

Hope this helps.

First look at some keywords:

"President can never claim the kind of direct popular mandate that the prime minister can"

This means — President doesn't have power like Prime Minister. He can not take big decisions (as like prime minister). He need to act on advice of the council of ministers and PM.
