The Prime Minister of Ukraine ((ウクライナ語:Прем'єр-міністр України, ''Prem'ier-ministr Ukrayiny'')) is Ukraine's head of government presiding over the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which is the highest body of the executive branch of the Ukrainian government. The position replaced the Soviet post of the Chairman of Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR, which was established on March 25, 1946. Since Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, there have been fifteen Prime Ministers,〔(Eugenia Tymoshenko: the fight to save my mother Yulia ), ''The Guardian'' (23 September 2012)〕 or nineteen, counting acting PMs. Yatsenyuk is the first Prime Minister who has come from Western Ukraine. Two Prime Ministers were born in the Russian SFSR. The current prime minister is Arseniy Yatsenyuk since he was sworn on 27 February 2014 (as a member of Batkivshchyna〔(Ukraine opposition leader urges West to act ), BBC News (1 February 2014)〕), following the ousting of former President Viktor Yanukovych of 22 February 2014.〔(Ukraine crisis timeline ), BBC News〕〔(Verkhovna Rada approved composition of new government ), ITAR-TASS (27 February 2014)〕 Yatsenyuk continued as prime minister following the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election (this time as member of People's Front〔(Ukraine's new parliament re-elects Yatsenyuk as PM ), Deutsche Welle (27 November 2014)〕).〔(Ukrainian parliament appoints Yatseniuk prime minister ), Interfax-Ukraine (27 November 2014)〕 ==Appointment== The prime minister is appointed by the president with the consent of the Verkhovna Rada. The consent is deemed granted by the parliament when a simple majority of its constitutional membership votes in favour of the candidate nominated by the president. The highest parliamentary approval to date was received by Yulia Tymoshenko who was appointed the Prime Minister on February 4, 2005 with 373 votes in the Verkhovna Rada. Other prime ministers who received more than 300 votes were Arseniy Yatsenyuk (371), Yatsenyuk again in 2014 (341)〔(Ukrainian parliament appoints Yatseniuk prime minister ), Interfax-Ukraine (27 November 2014)〕 Vitold Fokin (332), and Leonid Kuchma (316). The procedure of granting consent by the parliament is usually preceded by several days of comprehensive consultations and interviews of the candidate by the parliamentary factions. The approval by the legislature is not a mere formality. Some candidates were ratified by a narrow margin and a candidate may be turned down. For instance, in 1999, Valeriy Pustovoitenko fell three votes short of being re-confirmed after he tendered his resignation at the second inauguration of President Leonid Kuchma in 1999. Kuchma chose Viktor Yushchenko as his alternative candidate. Another example is the approval of Yuriy Yekhanurov's candidacy (he fell three votes short of approval, but was confirmed on the second attempt two days later). After the constitutional reform of late 2004, the president was restricted in his choice of prime minister and was virtually obliged to nominate the person proposed by the parliamentary coalition. The prime minister, as with all members of executive branch, cannot be a member of parliament. 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 Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
