No.	Portrait	Name	Took office	Left office	Days	Election	Political Party
1		General Augusto Cintra (1794–1881)	18th October 1836	26th November 1848	12 years, 1 month and 8 days	1836, 1841, 1846	PC
			An influential general among Belmontese politics at the time, Cintra was the leader of the conservative faction that overthrew dictator Joaquim Durão in the Belmontese Revolution, being put at the charge of the newly created office of premier provisorily. His cohesive and pragmatic way of politics were responsible for the creation of the parliamentary Second Republic and the oligarchic Riachuelo Agreement between conservatives and liberals to ensure long-term political stability, with his government being known for its centralist and nationalist policies. He stepped down in 1848, retiring from politics on the same year.
2		Duarte Peixoto (1809–1883)	26th November 1848	26th November 1851	3 years	–	PC
			Appointed by Cintra himself after his resignation, Peixoto was an influential cabinet member during the last years of the previous cabinet and a known member of the more conservative faction of his party. Although he tried to continue his predecessor's way of governing, his lack of political charisma made it impossible to do so, resigning after losing the 1851 general election.
3		General Jorge Calixto (1799–1859)	26th November 1851	12th April 1853	1 year, 4 months and 17 days	1851	PL
			A former general, Calixto's moderate views made him become party leader, winning that year's election with a narrow margin. Heavily supported by regional elites who wanted more political power, his government plan was largely based on a strong federalist rethoric, but pro-centralist factions from his party blocked any attempt to pass them, leading to a snap election in which the conservatives were able to regain their majority.
4		Duarte Peixoto (1809–1883)	12th April 1853	10th March 1854	10 months and 26 days	1853	PC
			Returning to the premiership, Peixoto tried to reverse the few laws passed by his liberal predecessor whilst pursuing a very centralist legislation, alienating the most moderate factions of his party against him. Seen as an extremist and reactionary, combined by his lack of political skills and bad relationship with congress, he was ousted in 1854 in favour of a more pragmatic politician.
5		Epitácio Freire (1794–1857)	10th March 1854	24th June 1857	3 years, 3 months and 14 days	–	PC
			Freire served on both Peixoto and Cintra governments and was chosen because of his known moderate views and pragmatism. During his tenure, Belmonte experienced a period of economic growth while his government made concessions for the liberals and different conservative factions by expanding autonomy to provinces and strengthing the army, leading him to become very popular on both sides. He died mysteriously from an unknown disease in 1857, while still in office.
6		Artur Bernardes (1795–1863)	24th April 1857	12th April 1858	11 months and 19 days	–	PC
			An important cabinet member that served as finances secretary in the Peixoto government, Bernardes tried to follow his predecessor's bipartisan policies, but his arrogant and sluggish behaviour caused several conflicts in congress that avoided this to happen. Expecting to win the 1858 general election easily, he was shockingly defeated by liberal leader Francisco Gomes.
7		Francisco Gomes (1824–1909)	12th April 1858	28th May 1864	6 years, 1 month and 16 days	1858, 1863	PL
			A young and idealist politician, Gomes was known for his very progressive political views at the time, expanding the electoral suffrage, improving worker conditions at factories and increasing regional autonomy for both provinces and cities as well, having a large and strong base of support that made him re-elected in 1863, becoming the first premier to do so since 1846. Despite having an extremely popular second term, he was ousted by party members on the following year after a budget disagreement, staying as a cabinet member until 1868.
8		Henrique Prado-Leão (1812–1890)	28th May 1864	12th April 1868	3 years, 10 months and 15 days	–	PL
			A moderate liberal, Prado-Leão was premier Gomes' closest aide, having served on several cabinet positions throughout his term. Chosen for his apparent political skills towards party members, he continued some of his predecessor's reforms by pushing for more bipartisan legislation in congress, but a rather expressionless government in the past two years previous to the 1868 general election made him defeated for the first time.
9		General Cícero de Sá (1811–1899)	12th April 1868	7th February 1875	6 years, 9 months and 26 days	1868, 1873	PC
			An army general known for his stiff opposition towards the past two liberal governments, de Sá quickly rose conservative ranks and became party leader in 1868, gaining a workable majority in the Chamber of Deputies. Most of his premiership was focused on repealing progressive laws passed by congress on the previous years but this quickly came to an end after being advised to do so by more moderate cabinet members. He managed to be re-elected in 1873 and maintained a relatively high support, but a corruption scandal led to a snap election and defeat in 1875.
10		Henrique Prado-Leão (1812–1890)	7th February 1875	10th October 1876	1 year, 8 months and 3 days	1875	PL
			Returning once again to the premiership, Prado-Leão tried to continue his previous government program but a hung parliament led him to make a series of concessions to stay in power, causing various internal conflicts between the most progressive and conservative factions of his party that made impossible for him remain in the office. He resigned after losing a snap election called by himself in 1876.
11		General Severino Proença (1819–1894)	10th October 1876	24th September 1879	2 years, 11 months and 14 days	1876	PC
			Backed by de Sá and other hardline conservatives, Proença first seemed to have a more moderate government during its first months but it became more ideological over time, plaguing his premiership of all kinds of scandals. He lost a motion of no-confidence in 1879 and the consequent general election by a very large margin.
12		Henrique Prado-Leão (1812–1890)	24th September 1879	15th April 1881	1 year, 6 months and 22 days	1879	PL
			After being elected to the party leadership once again against all odds, Prado-Leão became the first and only premier to serve on three different occasions. With a large majority on both houses of congress and no longer facing internal fighting in his party, he finally was able to pass some reforms but resigned in 1881 after a series of health problems made him unable to govern.
13		João Honório-Graça (1831–1897)	15th April 1881	24th September 1894	13 years, 5 months and 9 days	1884, 1889	PL
			The longest-serving premier in Belmontese history, Honório-Graça was the richest man of Belmonte and of the richest of the world at the time, being the owner of several companies and railroads in Asteria. An important advisor to Prado-Leão's government, he suscefully was appointed his sucessor as premier and, through his pragmatic and cynical way of governing, managed to have a strong parliamentary support, being re-elected in 1889. During his tenure, Belmonte's industrialization and immigration was severely promoted and expanded, with the country itself being one of the winners of the War of the Arucian. He was forced to resign as party leader in 1894.
14		Renato Borges (1839–1900)	24th September 1894	6th March 1900	5 years, 5 months and 10 days	1894, 1899	PC
			first premier to be born under the second republic
