The government is a coalition between New Unity, National Alliance, and United List.[3]
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.[4]
