The premier of Manitoba (French: premier ministre du Manitoba) is the first minister (i.e., head of government or chief executive) for the Canadian province of Manitoba—as well as the de facto President of the province's Executive Council.[4]
In formal terms, the premier receives a commission to form a government from the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, who represents the monarch at the provincial level.
The 25th and current premier of Manitoba is Wab Kinew, who was sworn in on October 18, 2023.
