Fourth government of Miguel Sanz
The fourth government of Miguel Sanz was formed on 17 August 2007, following the latter's election as President of the Government of Navarre by the Parliament of Navarre on 11 August and his swearing-in on 16 August, as a result of Navarrese People's Union (UPN) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 2007 Navarrese regional election and forming an alliance together with the Convergence of Democrats of Navarre (CDN). It succeeded the third Sanz government and was the Government of Navarre from 17 August 2007 to 2 July 2011, a total of 1,415 days, or 3 years, 10 months and 15 days.

Until 2009, the cabinet comprised members of UPN and CDN, as well as a number of independents proposed by the former party. On 28 September 2009, Sanz expelled the two CDN members from the cabinet—effective from 1 October—over discrepancies between the two parties in relation with a reform of the Basque language law.
