Cabinet of Straujuma II

The Straujuma II cabinet was a Latvian government under Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma .

After the parliamentary elections on October 4 and the subsequent coalition negotiations, the cabinet was sworn in on November 5, 2014 and replaced the Straujuma I transitional government established in January 2014 . The governing parties were the same as in the previous cabinet, but without the Zatlera Reformu partija , which had run for elections together with the Vienotība party.

On December 7, 2015, Prime Minister Straujuma resigned and, under Latvian law, the entire government. Straujuma recommended Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis as her successor. Eventually, however, Māris Kučinskis was tasked with forming the new government. The previous ministers remained in office until they were sworn in on February 11, 2016.
