The Office of the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) (Irish language: Oifig an Chéad-Aire agus an LeasChéad-Aire, Ulster Scots language: Offis o tha Heid Männystèr an tha Heid Männystèr Depute) is the Northern Ireland government department with overall responsibility for the running of the Northern Ireland Executive.

Election The First Minister is elected by the Assembly on a joint ticket with the Deputy First Minister. Their joint nomination must obtain an overall majority in the Assembly along with a majority of both designated nationalists and unionists.

This dyarchy was created to enable the leaders of the main Unionists (Ireland) and Irish nationalism parties to work together as a team jointly representing both communities.

History Until 2002, the First Minister's post was held by David Trimble leader of the Ulster Unionist Party. Initially the Deputy First Minister was the deputy leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party, Seamus Mallon. He was succeeded upon his retirement by the new SDLP leader, Mark Durkan. Ian Paisley (leader of the Democratic Unionist Party) and Martin McGuinness (chief negotiator for Sinn Féin) became respectively, First Minister and Deputy First Minister on 8 May 2007 in line with the announcement made on 26th March 2007.
