The Council of Ministers (Template:Lang-tr) is the executive branch of the government of Northern Cyprus, consisting of ministers. The council is chaired by the Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus and the ministers head executive departments of the government. The President of Northern Cyprus reserved the right to chair the Council of Ministers, albeit without voting. The maximum number of ministries, as defined by the constitution, is ten.[1]

The Council of Ministers is appointed by the Prime Minister, and the program of the government needs to be read out in the Assembly of the Republic within a week of the appointment. The cabinet then needs to receive a vote of confidence by the majority of the members of the Assembly. A vote of no confidence can be initiated after three months has elapsed, by nine members of the Assembly.[1]

Cabinet

The current council, Özgürgün Government, which replaced the Kalyoncu cabinet, and sworn in on 16 April 2016, consists of 10 ministers formed by a coalition of the National Unity Party (UBP) and Democratic Party (DP-UG). The two parties shared the ministries 7 per 3.[2]
