Shortly after the formation of the Pisas cabinet, it requested Governor Lucille George-Wout that the planned 28 April elections be cancelled. Pisas stated that a new majority had been formed in the Estates and that there was thus no need for new elections. This new majority of MP's started a procedure at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to allow the elections to be cancelled. The petition to the ECHR was dismissed by the court on 29 March.

A National Decree was adopted by the Estates on 27 March, calling for the cancelling or postponing of the elections. Governor George-Wout refused to sign the decree, cited it "seriously impaired legal certainty and good governance" and nominated it for destruction at the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands proposed, by use of an , to task Governor George-Wout with responsibility for holding the elections. Minister of Interior and Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk stated that the "interim cabinet severely damaged the integrity of the electoral process" and asked the Council of State for an urgent advice. On 3 April the Council of State gave a positive advice for the proposed measures. The proposed measures were formally taken by the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands the same day. In response to the actions by the Council of Ministers Pisas stated: "the Netherlands is biased" and that the Netherlands was behind the parties opposing his coalition. He regretted the decision by the council and called it unnecessary.

On 28 April, the day of the elections, Pisas submitted the resignation of his cabinet and that of the Minister Plenipotentiary of Curaçao to the Governor.
