Context

Election 8 May; appointment 23 June; decoupling 25 September. Store the appointment. Keep Mickoski is appointed prime minister after the VMRO-DPMNE return on 2024-06-23 separate from neighbouring 8 May 2024 election, 23 June 2024 appointment, 25 September 2024 EU decoupling, and 2025–26 no-amendment statements.

The Prime Minister of North Macedonia proposes the cabinet and can bind VMRO-DPMNE against a two-thirds constitutional amendment.
