The Scholz cabinet (German: Kabinett Scholz) is the current cabinet of Germany, led by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The cabinet is composed of Scholz's Social Democratic Party, Alliance 90/The Greens and the Free Democratic Party, an arrangement known as a "traffic light coalition" in Germany after the parties' traditional colours, respectively red, green, and yellow, matching the colour sequence of a traffic light (Ampel). This traffic light coalition-government is the first of its kind at the federal level in the history of the German federal republic.
Following the 2021 German federal election, the three parties reached a coalition agreement on 24 November 2021.[1][2] Scholz was elected as Chancellor by the Bundestag on 8 December 2021.[3] His cabinet, as determined by the coalition agreement, was formally appointed by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on the same day.
The SPD approved the coalition agreement by 98.8% (598 yes-votes to 7 no-votes and 3 abstentions) at the party's federal convention on 4 December 2021.[4][5] The FDP approved the coalition agreement by 92.24% (535 yes-votes to 37 no-votes and 8 abstentions) at the party's federal convention on 5 December 2021.[6] The Greens approved the agreement on 6 December with 86% (61,174 yes-votes to 8,275 no-votes and 1,701 abstentions).[7][8]
On 8 December, the Bundestag elected the government by 395 to 303 votes.[9]
Composition
The cabinet consists of Chancellor Olaf Scholz and sixteen federal ministers.[10] The SPD has eight positions, the Greens have five and the FDP has four.[11]
