Goderich formed a coalition government that lasted from September 1827 to January 1828, succeeding Canning's administration.

Goderich's government, which operated from September 1827 to January 1828, was a coalition of Tories and Whigs. It continued for a few months after Canning's death but eventually fell apart. The King's dissatisfaction with Goderich contributed to the instability of this ministry.
