The prime minister chairs Cabinet meetings, and selects its ministers to serve in their respective portfolios. The prime minister holds office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the Parliament, as such they sit as members of Parliament.
The prime minister is appointed by the president, in doing so, the president is of the opinion that the appointed individual is the most able to command the majority of the House of Representatives; typically, this individual is the leader of a political party or coalition of parties that hold the largest number of seats in the House of Representatives.
