How is the prime minster chosen?

In Australia: On winning government, the political party (or a coalition of political parties) chooses one of its own, customarily the Leader of the party, to become Australian Prime Minister. There is no fixed tenure for the position of Australian Prime Minister and any serving Australian Prime Minister may have his position challenged and removed from him by members of his party or coalition. Each Member of the House of Representatives represents a separate Federal electoral division, constituted in approximately equal numbers of population. Members of the Federal Government (House of Representatives and Senate), State, Territory and local governments are elected under a preferential system of voting which requires for election a majority of primary votes. In cases where the primary votes are not enough to constitute a majority, a combination of primary and preferential votes are tallied until a majority of votes is achieved.


Who are the prime minister of Pakistan?

he Prime Minister of Pakistan (Urdu: وزیر اعظم Wazir-e- Azam meaning "Grand Minister"), is the Head of Government of Pakistan.The Prime Minister is elected by the National Assembly, members of which are elected by popular vote. Most commonly, the leader of the party or coalition with the most votes becomes the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is responsible for appointing a cabinet. The President has the constitutional reserve power to remove the Prime Minister, through a dissolution of the National Assembly, triggering new elections. The Seventeenth Amendment imposed a check on this power, making it subject to Supreme Court approval or veto.The office of Prime Minister did not exist during three periods of Pakistan's history, a circumstance different from a vacancy in the office, as a result of the dismissal of an individual Prime Minister by the President. In the first two cases, Pakistan had no Prime Minister from October 7, 1958 until July 3, 1972, and from July 5, 1977 until March 24, 1985- periods of martial law. During these periods, the President, who was the chief martial law administrator, effectively had the powers of Prime Minister as the head of government, without the title of Prime Minister. In the third case, after Pervez Musharraf's coup, Pakistan did not have a Prime Minister from October 12, 1999 to November 20, 2002. During this time, Musharraf, holding the office of Chief Executive, was effectively the Head of Government.Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani is the currently 26th Prime Minister of Pakistan.
