The Cabinet McAllister was the state government of the German state of Lower Saxony from 1 July 2010 to 19 February 2013.[1] The Cabinet was headed by Minister President David McAllister.[1] After the election of Christian Wulff as president of Germany, McAllister was elected and sworn in as Minister President by the Landtag of Lower Saxony on 1 July 2010.[_citation needed_]

It is notable for being the first modern cabinet in Germany headed by a person holding dual citizenship (German and British), although Germany, its states and its various predecessors have previously had many politicians of foreign, including French, Polish, Italian and Slovene, ancestry.[_citation needed_]
