It initially consisted of four parties (Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, the Labour Party, the Order and Justice, and the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania), but the Electoral Action of Poles left the government in August 2014.
The Butkevičius cabinet became the second successive government of Lithuania to serve the full four-year term of the Seimas, returning its mandate on 14 November 2016 after the elections to the Seimas that October. This government was the first one to retain its majority in the Seimas throughout the full four year term.
