The prime minister of Auzance, officially the prime minister of the Republic of Auzance (Autuzian: prumîs minisses del republique Ôtuzance), is the head of government of Auzance. The prime minister typically leads the largest party of both the Government of Auzance, and the Tchambe more widely, though coalitions can result in the second-largest party appointing a prime minister; a prime minister must command the confidence of the Tchambe to remain in their role. They lead the Cabinet, holding the power to appoint and remove its members. The current prime minister is Catrene Burnot of the Labour party, after the resignation of fellow Labour prime minister Thereze Astruc effective of 27 November, 2019.

History

The prime minister was initially a fused role as both head of government and head of state, especially as exercised by first prime minister Remy Warnot from 1933 to 1948. In 1971, the Constitution split the executive, judiciary and legislature, and the prime minister became nominally lower than the Premier in rank; sitting prime minister Ritchåd Cougnî was elevated to the position of Premier in 1974.
