The prime minister of New York is an official who serves as the primary minister of the Crown, chair of the Cabinet, and thus head of government of New York. Thirty-five people (thirty-four men and one woman) have served in the position since the office was created in 1815.[1] Officially, the prime minister is appointed by the governor-general, but the prime minister must have the confidence of the elected Legislative Assembly. Normally, this is the leader of the party caucus with the greatest number of seats in the Assembly. But if that leader lacks the support of the majority, the governor general can appoint another leader who has that support or may dissolve parliament and call a new election. The prime minister must hold a seat in Parliament and, since the early 20th century, this has more specifically meant the Legislative Assembly.
The 35th and current prime minister is Lucy Velanas, who assumed office on 10 December, 2018. There are currently four living former prime ministers. The most recent former prime minister to die was Tom Schweiger, on 21 April 2022.
Speakers of the General Council (1790-1815)
[edit]Main article: List of Speakers of the General Council Before the creation of the office of prime minister, the speaker of the General Council was the most influential member of Parliament and was roughly equivalent to the later office of prime minister. The speaker often served as the representative of Parliament to the governor, serving as acting governor if the governor was not available. Like the Prime Minister, the speaker had large influence in legislation and the selection of appointment councillors.
