The third cabinet of Kaja Kallas was the cabinet of Estonia from 17 April 2023 to 22 July 2024. The cabinet was formed following the 2023 parliamentary election.[1] On 15 July 2024 Kaja Kallas, who had been chosen as nominee for High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in the European Commission, submitted her resignation as Prime Minister, triggering the immediate resignation of her entire cabinet. The cabinet remained in place until the formation of Kristen Michal's cabinet on 22 July.
In the aftermath of the 2023 Estonian parliamentary election, the Reform Party increased their number of seats, and incumbent 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]
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]
