The '''prime minister of the Republic of Belarus''' ({{Lang-be|Прэм’ер-міністр Рэспублікі Беларусь}}; {{Lang-ru|Премьер-министр Республики Беларусь}}) is the [[de jure]]deputy [[head of government]] of [[Belarus]]. Until 1991, it was known as the '''Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic''' as the head of the government of the constituent republic of the [[Soviet Union]].
 
He/sheThe prime minister leads the [[Council of Ministers of Belarus]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pravo.by/document/?guid=3871&p0=H10800424|title=Национальный правовой Интернет-портал Республики Беларусь|website=pravo.by}}</ref> the central government body, and is accountable to the president. The prime minister is nominatedappointed by the [[president of Belarus]] and is ceremonially confirmed by the House of Representatives, which is the [[lower house]] of the [[National Assembly of Belarus|National Assembly]]. Once the prime minister is appointed they form a 30-member cabinet which consists of ministers and chairmen, the latter of which is a [[Non-ministerial government department|non-ministerial post]].
As Belarus is a [[presidential republic]] the prime minister doesn'thas have anyno real power or control over government affairs and it is ultimately under direct control of the president who has the real power over government and its activities.

*Signing government legislation
Line 36 ⟶ 42:
*Enforce a uniform financial, monetary, education, health care, and labour policy
*Ensure the implementation of decrees and instructions of the president
*To substitute for the president on temporary and absolute absences
 
The constitution was drafted by the [[Supreme Council of Belarus]], the former legislative body of the country and is heavily influenced by [[Western world|Western]] constitutions. The constitution has been amended thrice under controversial circumstances since the original adoption, in 1996, in 2004 and in 2022. Two [[referendum]]s that were disputed by independent observers and government opposition leaders increased the power of the [[President of Belarus|presidency]] over the government and eliminated the [[term limit]]s for the presidency.
The official workplace of the prime minister is at [[Government House, Minsk|Government House]] on [[Independence Square, Minsk|Independence Square]].
