Imagine a classroom where two students are both in charge of being the teacher. That’s kind of like having more than one prime minister in some countries. It happens when the way people vote and choose leaders is a bit special, like in New Zealand or Canada, where different groups can pick their own leader to be part of the government at the same time.
Examples
- In New Zealand, there are sometimes two prime ministers when different groups win enough votes.
- Sometimes Canada has more than one leader working as a team to run the government.
- Imagine if your class had two teachers, that's what it's like for some countries with multiple prime ministers.
