Chief Minister of Jersey

The Chief Minister of Jersey is the leading political figure responsible for the island's government and administration. They are elected by the island's elected members and serve as the main representative of Jersey's government, setting policies and overseeing day-to-day operations. The role is similar to a prime minister in other parliamentary systems, guiding legislative priorities and coordinating efforts across departments. Although Jersey is a Crown Dependency with a unique relationship to the UK, the Chief Minister's authority is rooted in local democratic processes, and they work to ensure the effective governance and representation of Jersey’s interests.
