List of cabinets of Curaçao


The cabinet of Curaçao consists of several ministers and is headed by a prime minister (Dutch: minister president). The Minister Plenipotentiary of Curaçao also is part of the cabinet of Curaçao, but resides in the Netherlands. A Curaçao cabinet becomes "demissionary" upon election day, or upon resignation, and generally stays in office until a new cabinet has been formed. All members of the cabinet are sworn in by the Governor of Curaçao. As of 2017, eight cabinets had served the country, presided over by seven prime ministers.

On 29 May 2017 Koeiman was succeeded as Prime Minister by Eugene Rhuggenaath.

On 24 March 2017 Koeiman was succeeded as Prime Minister by Gilmar Pisas.

Shortly after the formation of the Pisas cabinet, it requested Governor Lucille George-Wout that the planned 28 April elections be cancelled. Pisas stated that a new majority had been formed in the Estates and that there was thus no need for new elections. This new majority of MP's started a procedure at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to allow the elections to be cancelled. The petition to the ECHR was dismissed by the court on 29 March.

A National Decree was adopted by the Estates on 27 March, calling for the cancelling or postponing of the elections. Governor George-Wout refused to sign the decree, cited it "seriously impaired legal certainty and good governance" and nominated it for destruction at the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands proposed, by use of an Algemene maatregel van rijksbestuur (), to task Governor George-Wout with responsibility for holding the elections. Minister of Interior and Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk stated that the "interim cabinet severely damaged the integrity of the electoral process" and asked the Council of State for an urgent advice. On 3 April the Council of State gave a positive advice for the proposed measures. The proposed measures were formally taken by the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands the same day. In response to the actions by the Council of Ministers Pisas stated: "the Netherlands is biased" and that the Netherlands was behind the parties opposing his coalition. He regretted the decision by the Council and called it unnecessary.
