Farhaz Hazarika (born 2003) is a Vishwamitran politician and noble who served as the Prime Minister of Vishwamitra on two separate occasions, first from 11 September 2021 to 21 October 2021 and again from 22 November 2021 to 29 March 2024. He is currently serving as the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs under prime minister Princess Sarala since 29 March 2024. He also served as the National President of the ruling National People's Congress party and it was under his leadership that the party won two consecutive by-elections to the Parliament. He is the first and only prime minister in the nation's history to have formed four consecutive cabinets.

Personal life

Farhaz Hazarika was born in 2003 and is the youngest child of his parents. He is the maternal cousin of Abayat Ibtiyaz. He is a friend of Rashtradhyaksh Varuna Sriraya and W. Pranit Singh.

Micronational career

Farhaz Hazarika was introduced to micronationalism by his friend and classmate Varuna Sriraya after gaining knowledge and interest in micronational politics. He formally joined Vishwamitra as a citizen in January 2021 and soon rose to prominence because of his close friendship with the Rashtradhyaksh. Within days of joining the nation, he was offered a position in the caretaker government led by Prime Minister Ștefan Marius Snagoveanu, which he graciously accepted. He was formally appointed as a Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social and Citizen's Welfare on 28 January 2021 and was also entrusted with the additional duties of the Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations three days later on 31 January 2021.

He contested the March 2021 Vishwamitran general election from the Basistha City parliamentary constituency of the state of Basistha and was unopposed elected to the parliament. Following the victory of the National People's Congress in the election, he placed an important role in the formation of the government and the appointment of Ștefan Marius Snagoveanu as the Prime Minister. With the formation of the ministry, he was entrusted with the duties of the Minister of Home Affairs, Planning and Public Grievances. He became the third most senior member of the cabinet after Prime Minister Snagoveanu and Senior Minister Prince Abhiraj. He was appointed as a Member of His Majesty's Privy Council on 23 May 2021. In a cabinet reshuffle which took place on 18 June 2021, he was appointed as a Deputy Prime Minister alongside Michal Nowacki.

Premiership

With speculations of a potential change of guard, Prime Minister Snagoveanu announced his retirement from politics after he was offered to take of a more prestigious constitutional job. Farhaz Hazarika became first in line to succeed him as Prime Minister and soon the formal announcement was made that he would be succeeding Snagoveanu as the nation's Prime Minister in mid-September 2021. On 11 July 2021, he became the National President of the National People's Congress succeeding Snagoveanu. He was assigned the additional duties of the Minister of Education on 6 August 2021 after serving minister Daniel Lee was removed from the cabinet.

He was formally appointed as the nation's Prime Minister on 10 September 2021 succeeding Ștefan Marius Snagoveanu, who was appointed as the Rajyapal of Basistha. He assumed the duties of the Prime Minister on 11 September 2021 after being administered the oath of office and secrecy by the Rashtradhyaksh. He retained the portfolios of the Minister of Home Affairs. He stepped down as the Prime Minister on 21 October 2021, a month ahead of the general election and was replaced by Phillip Joseph Pillin on a caretaker basis.

He was re-elected to office for a second term on 22 November 2021 following the unprecedented victory of the National People's Congress in the November 2021 general election. His second term in office can be described as one with many hurdles and events. His leadership came to stake after two of his ministers - Rory Leonard and Jayden Dagsa went against him due to his failure to introduce further engagements and activity in the nation. This ended in him losing the position of the party leader and was succeeded by Leonard as the President of the ruling National People's Congress. It would under Leonard's leadership that the rise of the opposition Social Democratic Party was found and the party succeeded in winning four seats of the House of the People in the by-elections held in January 2022. However, Prime Minister Hazarika's second administration was marked by serious inactivity and constitutional failures. Finally, on 17 March 2022, Rashtradhyaksh Varuna Sriraya addressed the nation in which he announced that he shall be assuming executive powers within the nation but also appointed him as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers and in-charge of several important ministries.

By May 2022, the situation seemed to be back to form and intentions of a mid-term election was made. However, this ended up in the filling of the vacant seats of the parliament and the dissolution of the interim administration. Farhaz Hazarika was elected as the Prime Minister for the third term by the members of the parliament on 12 May 2022 and formed his third cabinet. His current administration has been instrumental in several developments within the nation including outreaching diplomatic relations.
