The third cabinet of Kaja Kallas is the current
cabinet of Estonia. The cabinet was sworn into office on 17 April 2023 following the 2023 parliamentary election.[1]
Background
In the aftermath of the
prime minister Kaja Kallas opted to open coalition negotiations with Estonia 200 and the Social Democrats on 7 March 2023.[2][3] The decision was predicted by observers, who saw the possibility of a Reform–Estonia 200–SDE coalition as the most likely outcome of the election.[4][5][6]
On 7 April, Lauri Läänemets, the leader of SDE, confirmed that the three parties had come to an agreement, and Kallas revealed the composition of her incoming cabinet the following day.[7][8][9][10] On 10 April, the coalition agreement was signed between the three party leaders, and Kallas later became prime minister-designate following the approval of the coalition government by the Riigikogu on 12 April.[11][12][13][14] Kallas and her third cabinet were sworn into office on 17 April.[1]
Ministers
The ministers of the cabinet were revealed by Kallas on 8 April 2023. The cabinet consists of 13 ministers, seven from the Reform Party (including the prime minister) and three each from Estonia 200 and the Social Democrats.[9]
