The Deputy Prime Minister of New Ingrea is a position granted to the deputy leader of the governing party (or parties) in the House of Assembly.
History
Function and powers
The office of Deputy Prime Minister is used as a mechanism for rewarding the loyalty of the deputy leader, and is also used to give political authority to the leader of the junior coalition of party in a coalition government. On it's own, the role does not carry any constitutional responsibility, and the Deputy Prime Minister cannot be appointed to the Executive Council unless they are appointed as a Minister of State. This problem is usually circumvented by naming the Deputy Prime Minister as Vice-President of the Executive Council. In addition, since the office was established in 1961, it has been combined with the office of Leader of the House of Assembly
In the event of the death or resignation of the Prime Minister, a commission of office is usually granted to the Deputy Prime Minister until the government can elect a new leader.
