Why Do Some Countries Have Two Prime Ministers at Once?

Sometimes, countries have two people leading them at the same time. It's like having a team of two bosses instead of just one. This can happen when there are special rules or agreements in place, think of it as a teamwork deal between leaders to make decisions easier.
