The deputy prime minister served as acting prime minister in the absence of the Prime Minister of Suriname.
This position was abolished when the current Constitution of Suriname went into effect in 1988; however, its functions were continued in the extra-constitutional position of Deputy Vice President ( Dutch: Vice-voorzitter van de ministerraad) [1] from 1988 to 1990.
