The prime minister of the Czech Republic (Czech: Předseda vlády České republiky[note 1]) is the head of the government of the Czech Republic and the de facto leader and most powerful member of the executive branch.[2]
The Constitution provides that certain presidential actions require the prime minister's countersignature, including in appointing judges and ambassadors, commanding the military, ratifying treaties and issuing amnesties.[3]
The current prime minister, Petr Fiala, leader of the ODS, was sworn-in by President Miloš Zeman on 17 December 2021, following the 2021 election and serves as 13th person in the office.
