The fourth Osborne ministry was a government of the Union of Esthursia, formed on 29 September, 2022, following the September 2022 Esthursian general election, in which the Social Democrats gained seats but still relied upon negotiating a coalition deal with Green-Left to enter government. It was headed by Harold Osborne as forethane, and consisted of 27 members, 1 of whom was in the Ministers. This figure does not apply to the Ministry, the lower-rank of the cabinet.

The fourth Osborne ministry was relatively similar in composition to the third Osborne ministry. It was dissolved in November 2023 after a by-election in the Midlands gave the Social Democrats enough seats to form a one-party majority government, the fifth Osborne ministry.

Investiture

The fourth Osborne ministry was invested on the twenty-ninth of September 2022, renewing the coalition government of the Social Democrats and Green-Left.
