Nomination

In normal circumstances and under the constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic, the prime minister is appointed by the president of Syria, along with other ministers and members of the government that the new prime minister recommends.

The People's Assembly of Syria then approves the legislative program of the new government, before the new government formally take office.

There are no constitutional limits on a prime minister's term, and several served multiple non-consecutive terms. The Syrian presidency retains the constitutional authority to appoint or remove the prime minister and his Council of Ministers.

With the constitution of Syria being suspended as of December 2024, the prime minister's mode of appointment under the new regime remains to be determined.
