Protect the Prime Minister (PTPM) is a team based gamemode for Multi Theft Auto San Andreas (MTA SA).

The aim of the game is for the PM to stay alive for the allotted time limit with the help of his bodyguards and the cops. Each map is slightly different in design requiring tactics to be varied depending on which map is being played. The aim of the terrorists is to hunt down and kill the PM before the end of the round.

The game has several classes, divided into 5 teams. All classes in the same team spawn in the same "base". Within each team, the different classes have different weapons. Some classes have special "medic" powers, and usually spawn with less weaponry. Medics have a slightly paler colour so you can identify them on the radar.

There is an unarmed "Prime Minister" (PM) class (yellow). Closely guarding the Prime Minister is the "bodyguard" team (green), consisting of all the bodyguard classes. Then there are the more heavily-armed "cops" (blue). The "good guys" are allies, they fight united against the "terrorists" (pink) team. There are also "psychos" (orange) who can kill whoever they like and generally mess around.
