First Van Buskirk government

The second Van Buskirk government was the 44th government of Brunant. It was led by Prime Minister Pieter Van Buskirk from 14 March 2017 until 10 January 2018.

It was sworn in on 14 March 2017, the same day Prime Minister Peter Wostor resigned following the 2017 Green Party corruption scandal, taking the oath of office before Queen Helene. It followed the second Wostor government. The government consisted of three parties: the Social Democrats (SD, first named Social Democratic Party), the Green Party and A Better Brunant. It was a continuation of the Wostor cabinet, but without Peter and David Wostor.

On 10 April 2017, general elections were held, and the Van Buskirk government became the caretaker government until a new government was sworn in. The new government (SD-FLP-ECO17-ABB), also led by Wostor, came into power on 10 January 2018.
