The prime minister of Myanmar (Burmese: မြန်မာနိုင်ငံဝန်ကြီးချုပ်; MLCTS: mranmounghaṅ wan kri khuup.) is the head of government of Myanmar. The post was re-established in 2021 by the State Administration Council (SAC), the country's ruling military junta, to lead its nominally-civilian provisional government. The provisional government is subject to the decision-making of the SAC; additionally, there is significant overlap in the membership of both bodies. There is no provision for a prime minister in the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, with the president being the constitutional head of government. The current prime minister is Min Aung Hlaing, who is also the leader of the junta and the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services.^[3] The post had been used by previous military governments, as recently as 2011.
