Institutional status
Today
Candeia has no Prime Minister or permanent parliamentary Government currently in office.
When it becomes operational
Once the Assembly is established, the Head of Government will depend on the investiture process and remain subject to parliamentary confidence.
How someone becomes Head of Government
Responsibilities of the Prime Minister
| Dimension | Responsibility | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Political direction | Lead the Government and implement the programme within the Constitution and the laws. | The programme does not replace legislative, judicial, monetary or independent competences. |
| Ministers | Submit binding proposals for the appointment and dismissal of ministers. | The Presidency may not use formal delay to alter the chosen composition. |
| Regulations | Lead administrative implementation and the Government’s regulatory power. | A regulation may not create a crime, tax, political right or fundamental restriction without adequate legislative authorisation. |
| Confidence | Remain politically accountable to the Assembly. | Loss of confidence or resignation opens the constitutional replacement process. |
How the Head of Government ends or transfers
Constructive replacement
The Assembly may withdraw confidence by electing, in the same act, an eligible successor who has consented and receives an absolute majority. This allows the Government to be replaced without creating a power vacuum.
No automatic personal successor
Resignation or vacancy does not transfer the office to a relative, a previously chosen minister, a technical authority or the President. The prescribed formation process opens, or constructive replacement applies where appropriate.
