The Second Kubilius Cabinet was the 15th cabinet of Lithuania since 1990. It consisted of the Prime Minister and 13 government ministers (14 after the Ministry of Energy was re-established in 2009). The coalition consisted of the Homeland Union, National Resurrection Party (which suffered a split with both factions leaving the coalition by 2010), Liberal Movement, and the Liberal and Centre Union (which was later joined by a faction of the National Resurrection Party).
History
After the parliamentary elections in October, President Valdas Adamkus appointed Andrius Kubilius, the leader of the Homeland Union, as the Prime Minister on 28 November 2008. Kubilius had previously headed the 10th cabinet between 1999 and 2000. The 15th cabinet received its mandate and started its work on 9 December 2008, after the Seimas gave assent to its program.
The coalition, which formed on 17 November 2008 and supported the government named itself the "Coalition of Change".
In first two months of 2010 National Resurrection Party dissenters formed the new Christian Party. By this time, the government lost its majority and had to rely on support from the Lithuanian Peasants Popular Union, which lasted up until October of the same year, when the coalition once again got a majority. In September 2011 the National Resurrection Party merged with the Liberal and Centre Union, which reduced the number of parties in the coalition from four to three. By April 2012 the government once again lost its majority in the Seimas.
Despite an economic crisis and the unpopular austerity measures that the government implemented to face it, the cabinet became the first government of Lithuania since independence to serve the full four-year term of the Tenth Seimas, returning its mandate on 16 November 2012 after the elections to the Seimas in October. The government continued to serve in an acting capacity until the Butkevičius Cabinet started its work on 13 December 2012.
