On 1 June 2004 he was appointed as deputy Prime Minister of the Swedish government. The main reason for the appointment was to make him acting the prime minister under Göran Persson, when the latter received knee surgery in early June. The appointment would not affect his status as the Minister of Health and Social Affairs, but at the same time it was also announced that Enqvist would step down from his government posts on 1 October, to become the new Governor of Jönköping County.
