First Elfers cabinet

The First Elfers cabinet, also referred to as Elfers I, was the Lindenholt's executive branch of government until the Third Van Raamst cabinet was inaugurated in 1960. This 47th cabinet was Lindenholt's last cabinet to be led by a Reformed State Party prime minister. It sat out its full term and many of the ministers retained their positions in the cabinet that came after it.

Johan Elfers, the previous deputy prime minister, found himself as prime minister of Lindenholt after his party became larger than their coalition partner Catholic Union (KU). Many of the previous cabinet's ministers were replaced by GSP ministers, to the dissatisfaction of the KU, who threatened to withdraw their support. In order to keep his cabinet afloat Elfers fired multiple GSP ministers only a week after they were on their post.
