Cabinet formation

Cabinet formation is the process in which a government leader, often a prime minister or president, selects a group of advisors and heads of departments to help run the government. This group, known as the Cabinet, is responsible for making decisions on various policy areas, such as health, education, and defense. The leader typically chooses Cabinet members from their political party or coalition, reflecting the makeup of the legislature. Successful Cabinet formation usually requires building consensus and addressing the interests of different factions to ensure effective governance and support for the leader's agenda.
