Best Answer

The Premier of Ontario is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, on the basis of the composition of the elected legislature. For this reason, the Premier often appears to be elected, since their appointment is frequently the direct result of an election. However, a new Premier can also take office without an election if the old Premier resigns.
