The second government of the Republic of Estonia under Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas ("Cabinet Rõivas II") was in office from April 9, 2015 to November 23, 2016. According to official counts, it was the 48th government of the Republic of Estonia since independence was declared in 1918.
Government formation
In the parliamentary elections on March 1, 2015, the previous governing coalition of the Liberal Reform Party and the Social Democrats (SDE) suffered a slight loss of votes and lost their narrow absolute majority. The reform party under its chairman, Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas, came to 27.7% (−0.9 percentage points), the Social Democrats under Sven Mikser to 15.2% (−1.9 percentage points). Both were therefore dependent on a third coalition partner to form a majority.
After the coalition negotiations were concluded, the new government made up of the Reform Party, Social Democrats and the conservative IRL took office on April 9, 2015 . It represents a broad political spectrum.
composition
The Reform Party had 30 members in parliament ( Riigikogu ), the Social Democrats 15 members and the IRL 14. The government thus had a stable absolute majority of 59 of the 101 seats in parliament.
The government consisted of seven members of the Reform Party and four members of each of the two smaller coalition partners. Since the reshuffle in September 2016, the cabinet has consisted of thirteen men and two women.
