The prime minister of Syria (Arabic: رئيس وزراء سوريا|raʾīs wuzarāʾ Sūriyā) is the head of Council of Ministers appointed by the President of the Syrian Arab Republic.[2]

Nomination

The prime minister is appointed by the president of Syria, along with other ministers and members of the government that the new prime minister recommends.[3]

The People's Assembly of Syria then approves the legislative program of the new government, before the new government formally take office.

There are no constitutional limits on a prime minister's term, and several of them served multiple non-consecutive terms.[4] The Syrian Presidency retains the constitutional authority to appoint or remove the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers.[5]
