Separately, the law of 2001 stipulates that in any event where the incumbent prime minister becomes "permanently incapacitated" (either declared as such or "100 consecutive days" limit expired or else), or if the incumbent died or ceased being prime minister due to a criminal conviction, the government that is "deemed to have resigned", to become an interim government, continues to govern until a new government is placed in power, and in the absence of a prime minister in office, they then must vote on one of their incumbent ministers (either the acting prime minister or else) to fully assume office as the "interim Prime minister", if he or she meet the requirements.
