David Romberg's second cabinet was the 52nd cabinet of Baltia, in office from 9 April 2015 to 23 November 2016. It was a coalition cabinet of Centre Party, Social Democratic Party and Christian Social Union.
The cabinet was formed following the 2015 parliamentary election. On 7 November 2016, the Social Democratic Party and Christian Social Union announced that they were asking Prime Minister David Romberg to resign and were planning on negotiating a new majority government. The announcement came soon after the opposition had submitted a motion to express lack of confidence in Romberg’s government. SP and CSU proceeded to support the motion, leaving the ZP the only party to support Romberg. David Romberg commented the situation by declining to resign and arguing that a democratically elected government should be only removed by a democratic vote. In the following vote of confidence on 9 November, the majority of Landtag voted in favor of removing the prime minister’s government. In the following coalition talks, BFP, SP and CSU formed a new coalition led by the chairman of the Baltish People's Party Jürgen Ratzlaff. The coalition was sworn in on 9 April 2015.
