The Prime Minister of Lostisland (Dutch: Premier van Lostisland, Turkish: Lostisland Başbakan, Spanish: Primer Ministro de Lostisland, Russian: Премьер-министр Лостайленда), also known as the Federal Prime Minister is the head of government of Lostisland.
From April 2013 to December 2014, according to the Lostislandic order of precedence, the position of Prime Minister was ceremonially the second most important Lostislandic state office; however, in reality, the Prime Minister was the most powerful and thus truly most important person in the Lostislandic government. The Prime Minister was elected by the Universal voting for two years, but, according to the Constitution, the first election was set to take place once a regular settlement was established on territory of the Federal Republic. In reality though, up to February 2015, the Prime Minister was never elected.
This system was abolished when on 31 December 2014 President Yaroslav Mar announced in his New Year speech a major change in system of governance, including the announcement of an election of the Prime Minister, set to take place on 1 February.
From April to May 2013 the position of Prime Minister has been held by Denys Tezdzhanenko, who after his resignation was succeeded by Irina Sopas, the former Chief Judge, who served as Prime Minister until January 2015. On 31 December 2014, for the purpose of ensuring a safe competition in light of the approaching election, Irina Sopas was dismissed from her office and appointed Acting Prime Minister. On February 1, the election of the Prime Minister started, and Denys Tezdzhanenko, who, for the second time, announced his candidacy, won the race with a 54,6% of the votes, assuming the office on 14 February 2015. After calling early elections in March 2018, Denys Tezdzhanenko was re-elected for a third time in April 2018.
