Prime minister of Vanuatu

Prime minister of Vanuatu

The prime minister of Vanuatu is the effective head of the government of Vanuatu.

The position of prime minister was created when Vanuatu obtained its independence in 1980, with independence campaigner Walter Lini becoming the office-holder. The position is sometimes seen as a continuation of the older office of Chief Minister, which existed before Vanuatu obtained its independence. So far, seven people have served as prime minister of Vanuatu, sometimes on multiple occasions.
