The first Rhein cabinet was the state government of Hesse from 31 May 2022, after Boris Rhein was elected as Minister-President of Hesse by the members of the Landtag of Hesse, until 18 January 2024. It was the 23rd Cabinet of Hesse, and was succeeded by the second Rhein cabinet.
It was formed after the resignation of Minister-President Volker Bouffier, and was 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 comprised eleven ministers. Seven were members of the CDU and four were 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]
