The Kinew ministry is the cabinet that has governed Manitoba since October 18, 2023. It is led by Wab Kinew, the 25th Premier of Manitoba, and first First Nations premier of the province.[1] The cabinet replaced the Stefanson ministry, after the Manitoba New Democratic Party defeated the Progressive Conservatives in the 2023 Manitoba general election.[2]
Formed on October 18, 2023, it was initially composed of 15 members, 11 incumbent MLAs and four newly elected members.[3] On November 13, 2024, the cabinet added three additional ministers and saw several incumbent ministers assume new or redefined roles.
The shuffle was highlighted by the appointment of River Heights MLA Mike Moroz as Minister of Innovation and New Technology. Moroz would head the newly created Manitoba Department of Innovation and Technology with the aim of "supporting Manitoba’s strong tech sector and help new and existing businesses in this industry grow".[4][5]
