  The 2021 general elections led to a change in government. The outgoing coalition suffered a major defeat, with the Real Alternative Party (PAR) and the New Antilles Movement (MAN) losing many of their seats, while the National Innovation Party (PIN) lost all representation in parliament. From the opposition, the pro-independence party Movement for the Future of Curaçao (MFK) was the first place finisher, winning almost half of the seats.
  
  MFK leader Gilmar Pisas was therefore appointed Formateur by Governor Lucille George-Wout. On 26 March 2021, he signed an agreement for a coalition government between the MFK and the National People's Party (PNP). The new Pisas government was sworn in on 14 June.
