dbo:abstract
  • There have been three first ministers of a Canadian government of Asian descent. Of these, all three served premiers of a province; no person of Asian descent has ever served as Prime Minister of Canada. Asian-Canadians have been eligible to become first ministers since they gained the right to vote, beginning in 1947. The three Asian-Canadians who have held this office are Joe Ghiz and Robert Ghiz of Prince Edward Island and Ujjal Dosanjh of British Columbia. Dosanjh earned his position through a party leadership race within their political party while it was in government, while Joe and Robert Ghiz won the title by defeating an incumbent premier in a general election. No two Asian-Canadian first ministers have ever served concurrently. Seven Asian-Canadians have served as the leader of a political party with representation in the legislature. (en)
