Kaja Kallas' Second Cabinet
The second cabinet of Kaja Kallas is the incumbent cabinet of Estonia.

The new coalition was given a mandate by the Riigikogu on July 15 with a 52–26 vote. This is the fourth time in Estonian history when Reform Party, Isamaa and Social Democrats form the coalition, others being Laar's second cabinet, 1999–2002, Ansip's second cabi ...
