Until 2002, both the offices of governor and premier existed. However, the office of governor of the Sarajevo Canton was abolished and the office of premier was left as the sole office. The premier is appointed by the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly. As head of the government, the premier has no authority for appointing ministers, and his role is that of a coordinator. Ministers are appointed in his or her stead by the majority-parties according to ethnic and entity representation rules, so that a deputy minister must not be of same ethnicity as the respective minister.[2]

Nihad Uk is the 16th and current premier of the Sarajevo Canton. He took office on 24 March 2023, following the 2022 general election.[3]
