The Cabinet of Sipilä ( fin. Sipilän hallitus , Swede. Regeringen Sipilä ) is the 74th Cabinet of Ministers of Finland headed by Juha Sipilä . Formed on May 28, 2015 and approved by President Sauli Niinistö on May 29, 2015, when the Cabinet of Ministers headed by Alexander Stubb ended his powers. On March 8, 2019, the government resigned, which was accepted by the president (while the government continued to fulfill its duties as a temporary transitional government) [1] . The office of Sipilus was completed on June 6, 2019, on the same day a new office was approved by the President of Finland (the so-called Rinne's office ) [2] .
The cabinet initially had 14 ministers, including 9 men and 5 women [3] . On June 4, 2015, the government received a vote of confidence by Eduskunta with 114 votes in favor, 72 votes against (13 deputies were absent) [4] .
The distribution of ministerial posts in the office of Sipilia between the parliamentary parties at the time of the creation of the government was as follows [5] :

A serious crisis in the relationship between those participating in the government party arose in November 2015 during the negotiations on social security reform. The deadlines for negotiations were shifted several times, while Juha Sipilä announced the possible dissolution of the government. Despite the fact that a compromise solution was still found, representatives of governmental parties stated that mutual trust within the government was undermined [6] .

On June 22, 2016, Finnish President Sauli Niynistö appointed new ministers from the Coalition Party : Petteri Orpo , chairman of coalitionists, joined the post of finance minister, Kai Myukkyanen , a deputy of the first convocation, became the minister of foreign trade and development; Alexander Stubb and Lenita Toivakka were dismissed from ministerial posts [7] .

In 2017, as a result of the separation of some ministerial posts, the cabinet was replenished with three new ministers: Jari Leppä ( Finnish Center ) became Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Antti Häkkänen ( Kokomus ) - Minister of Justice, and Sampo Terho ( True Finns ) - EU Minister, culture and sport. They were approved by the President of Finland in their posts on May 5, 2017 [9] .
