Ba'athist Syria (1963–2024) In normal circumstances and under the constitution of the
Syrian Arab Republic, The
People's Assembly of Syria then approves the legislative program of the
new government, before the new government formally take office. There are no
constitutional limits on a prime minister's term, and several served multiple non-consecutive terms. The
Syrian presidency retains the constitutional authority to appoint or remove the prime minister and his
Council of Ministers.
Post-Ba'athist Syria (2024–2025) With the
2012 Constitution of Ba'athist Syria suspended following the
fall of the Assad regime, the new
Constitutional Declaration of the Syrian Arab Republic establishes a
presidential system in which executive power is concentrated in the hands of the president, who appoints the ministers without the position of prime minister. 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, in which the new ministers were sworn in and delivered speeches outlining their agendas. The government replaced the
Syrian caretaker government, which was formed following the fall of the Assad regime. The post of prime minister was abolished. ==List of prime ministers==
