The first government of María Chivite was formed on 7 August 2019, following the latter's election as president of the Government of Navarre by the Parliament of Navarre on 2 August and her swearing-in on 6 August, as a result of the Socialist Party of Navarre (PSN–PSOE) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Parliament together with Geroa Bai (GBai) and Podemos, with external support from EH Bildu and Izquierda-Ezkerra (I–E), following the 2019 Navarrese regional election. It succeeded the Barkos government and was the Government of Navarre from 7 August 2019 to 18 August 2023, a total of days, or .
The cabinet comprised members of the PSN–PSOE, GBai—with the involvement of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ/PNV) and, from September 2020, also Future Social Greens (GSB/GSV)—and Podemos, as well as a number of independents proposed by the first two parties. It was automatically dismissed on 29 May 2023 as a consequence of the 2023 regional election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.

Cabinet changes Chivite's first government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure: On 29 January 2021, Minister of Economic and Business Development Manu Ayerdi resigned after being accused of embezzlement by the Supreme Court of Spain in the "Davalor case", the alleged irregular grant of 2.6 million euros to a company that was in crisis in the 2015–2017 period. Mikel Irujo was appointed to replace Ayerdi in his post. On 7 September 2022, Economy and Finance minister Elma Saiz replaced Javier Remírez in the post of spokesperson of the Government, in what said to constitute a move to advance her candidacy for the mayorship of Pamplona in the 2023 local election. On 28 April 2023, less than one month before the election, Saiz resigned from all her cabinet posts to focus on her candidacy, with Remírez recovering the post of spokesperson and the economy and finance ministry being temporarily handed over to Minister of University, Innovation and Digital Transformation Juan Cruz Cigudosa.
Council of Government The Council of Government is structured into the offices for the president, the two vice presidents and 13 ministries.
