In a parliamentary system, a prime minister (also known as the first minister or premier) was the head of government. The prime minister was usually the head of a council of ministers.
After negotiating Cardassia's annexation into the Dominion in 2373, Dukat effectively became the emperor of the Cardassian people, though still a servant of the Founders. However, he chose to maintain his rank of gul as opposed to legate because he felt it was more "hands on", and emperor, president, first minister, and emissary seemed too "pretentious".
