Minister-President of the Brussels-Capital Region

The minister-president of the Brussels-Capital Region (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) leads the government of the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium.<ref name="Belgian Constitution">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="CIRB-creation">Template:Cite web (All text and all but one graphic show the English name as Brussels-Capital Region.)</ref> The post is appointed for five years along with four ministers and three "state" secretaries. While being the leader of the Brussels Government, the minister-president also is the president of the college of the Common Community Commission.

The minister-president of the Brussels-Capital Region should not be confused with either the Governor of Brussels-Capital nor with the mayor of the City of Brussels, which is one of the 19 municipalities of Brussels.

The minister-president is not counted in the ratio of French-speaking to Dutch-speaking ministers. In practice, every minister-president has been a francophone, though bilingual.
