2023 Spanish government formation
Attempts to form a government in Spain followed the Spanish general election of 23 July 2023, which failed to deliver an overall majority for any political party. As a result, the previous cabinet headed by Pedro Sánchez was forced to remain in a caretaker capacity until the election of a new government.

Second government of Pedro Sánchez
The second government of Pedro Sánchez was formed on 13 January 2020, following the latter's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 7 January and his swearing-in on 8 January, as a result of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the November 2019 general election. It succeeded the first Sánchez government and was the Government of Spain from 13 January 2020 to 21 November 2023, a total of 1,408 days, or 3 years, 10 months and 8 days.
