The prime minister is the leader of a political coalition in the Parliament and the leader of the cabinet. The current prime minister is acting prime minister Zoran Zaev, since his resignation on 31 October 2021, after the decisive defeat in the 2021 local elections. Zaev had been serving for the second time since 30 August 2020, and first took office in 2017.[2]

An election to chose the next SDSM leader was held on 12 December 2021. He will likely be succeeded by Dimitar Kovačevski once his mandate is pending approved by president Stevo Pendarovski.[3]
