The prime minister of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Прэм’ер-міністр Рэспублікі Беларусь; Russian: Премьер-министр Республики Беларусь) is the de jure 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/she leads the Council of Ministers of Belarus,[1] the central government body, and is accountable to the president. The prime minister is nominated by the president of Belarus and is ceremonially confirmed by the House of Representatives, which is the lower house of the 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 post. As Belarus is a presidential republic the prime minister doesn't have any real power or control over government and it is ultimately under direct the president who has the real power over government and its activities.
The activities of the prime minister in managing the government include:[2][3][4]
- Signing government legislation
- Inform the President on the basic guidelines of the government
- Draft budget
- Enforce a uniform financial, monetary, education, health care, and labour policy
- Ensure the implementation of decrees and instructions of the president
The official workplace of the prime minister is at Government House on Independence Square.
