List of Presidents and Prime Ministers Around the World: The President is the head of state of the republic, while the Prime Minister is the head of the country’s government. Global leaders hold several titles, including chancellor and premier. However, Prime Minister and President are the two titles that are most frequently used. The duties and obligations of a prime minister and president vary depending on the nation.

The decision of whether a country should have one or both executives is made by two types of government. The two types of government are presidential and parliamentary. In this article, we will look into the detailed list of current Presidents and Prime Ministers around the world.

Presidents and Prime Ministers Around the World

The Presidents and Prime Ministers are the heads of the states and the governments. There are cases where a single leader serves as both the head of state and the head of government, primarily under presidential systems. In some situations, the head of state and the head of government are two different persons, primarily under semi-presidential and parliamentary systems. Both the head of state and the head of government carry out the executive branch’s duties as head of government in semi-presidential and parliamentary systems. In one-party countries, the head of the dominant party, or the General Secretary, is typically the de facto head of state. Though occasionally he or she simultaneously serves as president or prime minister.
