Deputy Prime Minister of Craftia

The Deputy Prime Minister of Craftia is the second-most senior officer in the Government of Craftia.

The current Deputy Prime Minister of Craftia is Catherine Barikirta of the National United Party, since 30 May 2074. She is the first woman to serve as Deputy Prime Minister under a female Prime Minister.

In practice, the office is usually held by the deputy leader of the main party in government, or historically the leader of a junior coalition partner (although this faded out of practice in recent times).

Eight Deputy Prime Ministers have later became Prime Ministers (Marcus Pierce, Alexander Lee, Steve Bergensten, Alejandro McKay, Kevin Abbott, Mel Queanbeyan, Isaac Gray and Natalie Wang-Lee), while an additional two (Jim McIntyre and Oliver Hen-Ji) served as Prime Minister (or equivalent) prior to their appointment as Deputy Prime Minister.

Only five Deputy Prime Ministers have held the office for more than a single term (three years) – Louise Johnston, Lyon Borton, Natalie Wang-Lee, Peter Hannon and John Hammond.
