Each political party has its own leader. When there is a general election, the leader of whichever party gets most votes becomes Prime Minister.
The prime minister is the representative of a particular electorate or area He is voted for by the people of the electorate. The people however don't vote him into the position of prime minister. that is done by the parliament And usually happens along party lines.

That is, the political party or coalition that controls the largest number of seats chooses the leader of the government.

It is different in different countries. Some countries that have prime ministers do not have a monarch. In others it is often the people or the parliament that actually elects the prime minister and the monarch gives them their official seal of office.

The Prime Minister of Canada is appointed by the Governor General of Canada as the person who, in his or her assessment, can command the confidence of the House of Commons. This is usually the leader of the political party with the greatest representation in the House of Commons, though this is not a requirement.
