The Third Varuna Sriraya ministry (Hindi: तृतीय वरुण श्रीराय मंत्रिमंडल) was the 7th union council of ministers of the Republic of Children's Group which was formed after the April 2016 general election. The ministry, the third-ever union ministry to be headed by Prime Minister Varuna Sriraya, was formed on 11 April 2016 after the outstanding victory of the Secular Party in the nation's first-ever partisan election. The ministry remained in office until its dissolution on 30 December 2016 upon the re-election of prime minister Varuna Sriraya, as the prime minister.

History

The April 2016 general election resulted in the unexpected victory of the newly-formed Secular Party under the leadership of former president and prime minister Varuna Sriraya. Sriraya defeated incumbent prime minister Sarala Baishya and her party, the Independent Party.

After the declaration of the results, the Secular Party formed an brief alliance with the Independent Party and subsequently appointed outgoing prime minister Sarala Baishya as a minister.
