The cabinet succeeded the First Marlin-Romeo cabinet following the 2018 general elections, and was installed by Governor Eugene Holiday on 25 June 2018.[3] The cabinet lost its majority on 9 September 2019 when Franklin Meyers, faction leader of the UD, left his party to become an independent Member of Parliament. On 22 September 2019, UD members of parliament Luc Mercelina and Chanel Brownbill followed suit, which led to the collapse of the second cabinet Marlin-Romeo.[4]
