Perspective
Ba'athist Syria (1963–2024)
In normal circumstances and under the constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic,[1] the prime minister is appointed by the president of Syria, along with other ministers and members of the government that the new prime minister recommends.[3]
The People's Assembly of Syria then approves the legislative program of the new government, before the new government formally take office.[3]
There are no constitutional limits on a prime minister's term, and several served multiple non-consecutive terms.[4] The Syrian presidency retains the constitutional authority to appoint or remove the prime minister and his Council of Ministers.[5]
Post-Ba'athist Syria (2024–2025)
With the 2012 Constitution of Ba'athist Syria suspended following the fall of the Assad regime,[6] the new 2025 Interim Constitution establishes a presidential system in which executive power is concentrated in the hands of the president,[7] who appoints the ministers without the position of prime minister.[8]
On 29 March 2025, the Syrian transitional government was announced by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at a ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Damascus,[9] in which the new ministers were sworn in and delivered speeches outlining their agendas.[10] The government replaced the Syrian caretaker government, which was formed following the fall of the Assad regime.[11] The post of prime minister was abolished.[12]
