The cabinet comprised members of the PP and a number of independents. It was automatically dismissed on 13 April 2019 as a consequence of Garrido's resignation as president in order to run in his party's lists to the 2019 European Parliament election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in. Two weeks later, and just four days ahead of the April 2019 Spanish general election, Garrido defected to the Citizens (Cs) party.

The only change during the tenure of Garrido's government was the resignation of Ángel Garrido himself on 11 April 2019 in order to be able to be included within the People's Party (PP)'s lists to the 2019 European Parliament election as a result of the law barring incumbent members of regional members from running.[6] [7] A mere two weeks later on 24 April, and just a couple of days ahead of the April 2019 Spanish general election, Garrido announced his defection to Citizens (Cs).[8]
As a result of the president's resignation, the whole cabinet was forced to step down on 13 April and remain in acting capacity until a new government was sworn in,[9] [10] with vice president and minister of the presidency Pedro Rollán serving as acting president in the meantime.[11]
The Council of Government was structured into the office for the president, the vice president and nine ministries.[12]
