Brazauskas Cabinet II

The Second Brazauskas Cabinet was the 13th cabinet of Lithuania since 1990. It consisted of the Prime Minister and 13 government ministers.

Algirdas Brazauskas, the leader of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania had led the 12th government as the Prime Minister since 2001. The outgoing government coalition "Working for Lithuania" finished second in the elections in October 2004, behind the populist Labour Party, but Brazauskas was again appointed the Prime Minister by President Valdas Adamkus on 29 November 2004. The 13th cabinet received its mandate and started its work on 14 December 2004, after the Seimas gave assent to its program.

The government collapsed in 2006 when in April New Union (Social Liberals) left the government and soon President Adamkus expressed no-confidence in two ministers delegated by the Labour Party, prompting Brazauskas to resign on 1 June 2006. The government continued to serve in an acting capacity, with Zigmantas BalĨytis as the acting Prime Minister until the Kirkilas Cabinet started its work on 18 July 2006.
