The office of Prime Minister was created when the Central African Republic became an autonomous territory of France in 1958. It was originally the highest post of the Central African Republic, though France did maintain a governor in the territory. In 1960, the Central African Republic declared its independence. David Dacko held both the Prime Minister and newly created President of the Central African Republic posts briefly before eliminating the Prime Minister position and placing all executive power in the office of the President.

President Jean-Bédel Bokassa restored the office of Prime Minister to assist him in governing the country in 1975, shortly before he declared himself Emperor. The post lasted until Emperor Bokassa was overthrown by a coup.

The creation of the modern position occurred in 1991, when President André Kolingba was forced to relinquish some of the executive power.
