Chief Ministers must be at least 35 years old and meet the eligibility criteria for Pyithu Hluttaw representatives. They are appointed by the President of Myanmar.[1] Chief Ministers must be selected from representatives of the respective regional or state assemblies as prescribed in the constitution, although a notable exception to this ruling was the appointment of General Maung Maung Ohn as the Chief Minister of Rakhine State in June 2014.[2]

Government office

The Region or State Administration Department functions as the Region or State government. The Region or State Department of General Administration is also the office of the Region or State Mission.[3]
