Kiviniemi Cabinet

The Council of State chaired by Mari Kiviniemi, the 71st government to be formed since Finland's independence, was appointed by President Tarja Halonen on 22 June 2010.

It was a centre-right coalition government comprising the Centre Party (Keskusta), the National Coalition (Kokoomus), and two centrist parties: the Greens (Vihreät), and the Swedish People's Party (SFP). There were 12 women and 8 men in the cabinet, which made it the second cabinet in Finnish history with female majority.
