History

Christian Communist Period

At the time of the Triumvirate, the Premier was the second most important person, before the General Secretary of the Republic and the most important person, after the President of the Republic. He proposed and signed legislature and contributed to the stable operation of the Republic. The position was dissolved after the Republic was dissolved.

The Democratic Christian Republic of 11B / Melite

In the aftermath of the de facto dissolution of the Republic in mid 2021, the position of PM together with that of General Secretary was abolished and only the President led the nation in one party rule. It is after the re-entry of previous citizens that the country switched to multi-party democracy in a Presidential Republic and the position was re-established. The Premier of Melite is by right awarded the Grand Officer grade of the Order of the Golden Sun once officially appointed.
