He is also the current president of the Social Democratic Party and served as member of the national House of Representatives from 2018 to 2022 as well.

Born in Konjic in 1960, Nikšić holds a degree in law from the University of Mostar. Prior to the Bosnian War, he worked in Konjic as clerk of town planning, construction and housing, as well as communal services, marketing and catering inspecting. Nikšić was Head of the Inspection from 1990 until 1992.

In 2000, Nikšić was appointed deputy mayor of Konjic, but soon resigned since he became a member of the Federal House of Representatives. In March 2011, after a year-long government formation, he was appointed Federal Prime Minister, serving until March 2015. Nikšić was elected to the national House of Representatives in the 2018 general election. In April 2023, following the 2022 general election, he once again became Federal Prime Minister.

Nikšić joined the Social Democratic Party in 1993. In 2014, he was elected party president, following his predecessor Zlatko Lagumdžija's resignation.

Early life and education

Nikšić was born on 27 December 1960 in Konjic. He attended elementary and high school in his birth town. He graduated from Faculty of Law of University of Mostar in 1986.

From 1988, Nikšić was employed in Konjic, where he worked as clerk of town planning, construction and housing, as well as communal services, marketing and catering inspecting. From 1990 until 1992, he was Head of the Inspection.

Political career

In 1993, Nikšić joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH). One year later, he became president of the SDP BiH in Konjic. During the Bosnian War, he served as assistant to the commander of the 7th Brigade for legal jobs and assistant to the commander of the 43rd Brigade for moral.

From 1995 until 1998, Nikšić was vice president of the executive committee of the Municipality of Konjic, and from 1998 until 2000 he was head of General Administration, Housing and Communal Services and Inspections. In 2000, he was appointed deputy mayor of Konjic, but soon resigned after getting elected to the Federal House of Representatives.

From 2002 to 2006, Nikšić was vice president of the SDP BiH club in parliament. In 2004, he became president of the SDP BiH in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton. In November 2006, Nikšić was president of the SDP BiH parliamentary club. On 7 December 2014, he became president of the SDP BiH, succeeding Zlatko Lagumdžija.

On 17 March 2011, after a political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nikšić was appointed Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The political crisis occurred after the 2010 general election when major parties were unable to come to an agreement to form the new government.

Controversial cabinet picks

Controversies abound around Nikšić's cabinet members too, some of whom, like the minister of culture and sports, openly support war criminals; others, like the interior minister, are convicted felons.
