Kirkilas Cabinet

Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas

Kirkilas Cabinet was the 14th cabinet of Lithuania since 1990. It consisted of the Prime Minister and 13 government ministers.

Algirdas Brazauskas resigned as the Prime Minister of the 13th government in June 2006. After the interim Prime Minister, Zigmantas Balčytis failed to garner sufficient support in the parliament, the President Valdas Adamkus appointed Gediminas Kirkilas of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania as the Prime Minister on 6 July 2006. The 14th cabinet received its mandate and started its work on 18 July 2006, after the Seimas gave assent to its program.[1]

The government continued to serve until the end of the term of the Ninth Seimas, returning its mandate on 17 November 2008, soon after the elections to the Seimas in October. The government continued to serve in an acting capacity until the Second Kubilius Cabinet started its work on 9 December 2008.[2]
