Jüri Ratas' cabinet is the cabinet of Estonia that took office on 23 November 2016.[1] It is a coalition cabinet of Estonian Centre Party, Social Democratic Party and Pro Patria and Res Publica Union.[2]
The cabinet followed Taavi Rõivas' second cabinet that consisted of Reform Party, Social Democratic Party and Pro Patria and Res Publica Union and was formed after the 2015 election. The cabinet split in in November 2016, after the Social Democratic Party and Pro Patria and Res Publica Union announced that they had asked Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas to resign.[3] Rõivas lost the following vote of confidence on 9 November and the new coalition talks started.[4] On 19 November, Center Party, SDE and IRL agreed on the conditions of the new coalition under Center Party chairman Jüri Ratas.[5]
