Hamza Ersan Saner (born 1966) served as the Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus from 9 December 2020 to 5 November 2021.[1][2]

President Ersin Tatar gave the task of establishing the government on 7 November 2020 to Ersan Saner, as he would temporarily serve as its chair until the National Unity Party Congress. After 14 days of contacts with other political parties, he was unable to form a government and returned the post on 21 November 2020. After the Leader of the Republican Turkish Party, Tufan Erhürman, who was given the task of forming the government, could not form the government, Ersan Saner was assigned to form the government for the second time on 7 December 2020. On 8 December 2020, the National Unity Party - Democratic Party and the Rebirth Party Coalition Government protocol was signed. He became the Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus when the list of ministers was approved by the President of the Republic Ersin Tatar on 9 December 2020.[3][4]
