The Prime Minister of Rajyaghar (Matrabashi: Rajyaghār ke Pradhānamantrī) officially the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Rajyaghar is the leader of the Central Union Government; the executive branch of the Government of Rajyaghar. The prime minister is the chief adviser to the Monarch of Rajyaghar and the head of the Ashta Pradhan (Cabinet). Whilst the Monarch may appoint any citizen to serve as Prime Minister, by convention the Prime Minister is appointed from amongst the sitting members of the largest political party in the Shahee Sansad.
The Prime Minister is the most senior member of the Ashta Pradhan and is de facto chairman of the body when the Monarch does not preside over its sessions. As such, the Prime Minister alone may nominate members of the Ashta Pradhan and can request the dismissal of Ministers to the Monarch. The Pirme Minister is also entrusted with advising the Monarch on the exercise of Royal Decrees. The Ashta Pradhan is collectively and individually responsible to the Shahee Sansad and the Prime Minister must retain the confidence of a majority in the Shahee Sansad. Failure to secure a majority in the Shahee Sansad when instructed by the Monarch shall result in the immediate dismissal of a Prime Minister.
The Office of Prime Minister comes with certain privileges including a security detail, paid expenses and residency at the State House. Former Prime Ministers are also afforded a security detail for life, access to State Guest Houses. Former Prime Ministers are also entitled to sit and observe debates of the Shahee Sansad from within its chamber, however, they cannot vote.
The incumbent Prime Minister is Madhava Thakur who has served as PM since September 2010. Thakur first led a coalition government between his Rajyani Rashtriya Party and the Liberal Party. Thakur and the RRP were returned to power as a majority government in 2015 and again in 2020.
