The Prime Minister of Cambodia ((クメール語:នាយករដ្ឋមន្ត្រីនៃព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា)) is the head of government of Cambodia. The prime minister is also the chairman of the Cabinet and leads the executive branch of the Royal Cambodian Government. The prime minister is required to be a member of parliament and is appointed by the monarch. He is elected for a term of five years; no term limits are imposed on the office. Since 1945, there have been 36 prime ministers. The incumbent prime minister, since 1998, is Hun Sen of the Cambodian People's Party. He previously served from 1985 to 1993 and was second prime minister from 1993 to 1998. He was elected as prime minister in his own right in 1998. This also makes him the longest-serving prime minister. ==History== The position was first held by King Norodom Sihanouk in March 1945, during the French colonial era.〔http://rulers.org/rulc1.html Retrieved 7 September 2014.〕 Cambodia's first parliamentary elections were held on 1 September 1946. The Democratic Party remained the dominant-party in Cambodian politics throughout the 1940s until the formation of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum in 1955. Sangkum was the dominant-party in Cambodia from 1955 to 1970 following a military coup by General Lon Nol. Until 1993, it was not an elected position. Merely few prime ministers were elected including Sisowath Youtevong, Norodom Sihanouk, and Lon Nol. In 1993, constitutional monarchy was restored in Cambodia. The role of the prime minister was officially recognized in the constitution. Norodom Ranariddh became the first democratically elected prime minister. ==Appointment== The prime minister is required to be a member of parliament. He first needs to be elected by a majority of parliament before a swearing-in ceremony can take place. The inauguration of the prime minister takes place at the Royal Palace. The prime minister-designate takes an oath of office in front of the monarch and the two heads of the Thammayut and Mohanikay order. A cabinet will then be unveiled. The formation of a new government takes place no more than 60 days after the election, as defined in the constitution. The prime minister is assisted by deputy prime ministers. Article 125 of the Constitution〔 Ambassade royale du Cambodge en France - (Constitution )〕 states that should the prime minister resign or die in office, an acting prime minister is appointed. ==Office== The Peace Palace serves as the principal workplace of the prime minister. It was inaugurated on 19 October 2010 by the King. However, the prime minister resides at his own private residence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prime Minister of Cambodia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
