Hancock, previously deputy premier in the Redford Ministry, was sworn into office following Alison Redford's resignation. He inherited Redford's cabinet and, as he was only serving as premier until the party could elect a permanent leader, said he was "not planning to make any real changes in cabinet." However, he also said that any cabinet minister who decides to runs for the leadership must resign, in order to prevent an unfair advantage.[1] On May 7, Ric McIver resigned in order to contest the leadership; he was replaced as infrastructure minister by Wayne Drysdale.[2]
