The Prime Minister of the Hellenic Republic ((ギリシア語:Πρωθυπουργός της Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας), ''Pro̱thypourgós ti̱s Elli̱nikí̱s Di̱mokratías''), colloquially referred to as the Prime Minister of Greece ((ギリシア語:Πρωθυπουργός της Ελλάδας), ''Pro̱thypourgós ti̱s Elládas''), is the head of government of the Hellenic Republic and the leader of the Greek cabinet. The incumbent prime minister is Alexis Tsipras, who took office on 21 September 2015. The prime minister's official seat (but not residence) is the Maximos Mansion in the centre of Athens. The office is described in the Constitution either as Prime Minister or President of the Government (Πρόεδρος της Κυβερνήσεως). This is the reason why the prime minister is also addressed as "Mister President". == Election and appointment of the Prime Minister == The prime minister is officially appointed by the president of Greece. According to the Article 37 of the Greek Constitution, the president shall appoint the leader of the political party with the absolute majority of seats in the parliament as prime minister. If no party has the absolute majority, the president shall give the leader of the party with a relative majority (plurality) an exploratory mandate in order to ascertain the possibility of forming a government enjoying the confidence of parliament. If this possibility cannot be ascertained, the President shall give the exploratory mandate to the leader of the second largest party in Parliament, and if this proves to be unsuccessful, to the leader of the third largest party in parliament. Each exploratory mandate shall be in force for three days. If all exploratory mandates prove to be unsuccessful, the president summons all party leaders, and if the impossibility to form a Cabinet enjoying the confidence of the parliament is confirmed, he shall attempt to form a cabinet composed of all parties in parliament for the purpose of holding parliamentary elections. If this fails, he shall entrust the president of the Supreme Administrative Court or of the Supreme Civil and Criminal Court or of the Court of Auditors to form a cabinet as widely accepted as possible to carry out elections and dissolves the Parliament. Therefore, the election of members of a certain party to parliament is the equivalent to a vote for that party's leader for prime minister.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constitution of Greece )〕 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 Greece」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
