The first government of Mariano Rajoy was formed on 22 December 2011, following the latter's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 20 December and his swearing-in on 21 December, as a result of the People's Party (PP) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 2011 Spanish general election.[1][2] It succeeded the second Zapatero government and was the Government of Spain from 22 December 2011 to 4 November 2016, a total of 1,779 days, or 4 years, 10 months and 13 days.
The cabinet comprised members of the PP and a number of independents.[3][4][5] It was automatically dismissed on 21 December 2015 as a consequence of the 2015 general election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.[6][7]
