The second Krišjānis Kariņš' cabinet (Latvian: Kariņa 2. ministru kabinets) was the 41st government of Latvia, sworn in on 14 December 2022 after Krišjānis Kariņš was proposed as Prime Minister by President Egils Levits and elected by the Saeima.[1][2] The government was formed after the 2022 Latvian parliamentary election which was won decisively by Kariņš and his pro-western allies.[3] The government is a coalition between New Unity, National Alliance, and United List.[4] On 14 August 2023, Kariņš announced his resignation from the post of Prime Minister. One reason stated was the refusal of the National Alliance to approve Kariņš' proposal to invite The Progressives and the Union of Greens and Farmers to the coalition.[5]
