The Rhein cabinet is the current state government of Hesse, sworn in on 31 May 2022 after Boris Rhein was elected as Minister-President of Hesse by the members of the Landtag of Hesse. It is the 23rd Cabinet of Hesse.
It was formed after the resignation of Minister-President Volker Bouffier, and is a continuation of the coalition government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Alliance 90/The Greens (GRÜNE) formed after the 2018 Hessian state election. Excluding the Minister-President, the cabinet comprises eleven ministers. Seven are members of the CDU and four are members of the Greens.
Formation
The previous cabinet was a coalition government of the CDU and the Greens led by Minister-President Volker Bouffier of the CDU. In February 2022, Bouffier announced his resignation and intention to leave office at the end of May.[1] He nominated Boris Rhein, President of the Landtag and former minister in Bouffier's second cabinet, as his successor. Shortly after, Rhein was unanimously confirmed by a CDU party conference.[2]
Rhein was elected as Minister-President by the Landtag on 31 May 2022, winning 74 votes out of 137 cast.[3]
