Premier of Nunavut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Premier of Nunavut is the first minister for the Canadian territory of Nunavut. They are the territory's head of government and de facto chief executive, although their powers are considerably smaller than that of a provincial premier.

Unlike most other premiers who are officially appointed by a lieutenant governor or commissioner on account of their leadership of a majority bloc in the legislature, the premier of Nunavut is directly elected by the non-partisan legislature in accordance with the system of consensus government.

The current premier of Nunavut is Paul Okalik.
