On 27 February, Bratušek was elected prime minister-designate to form a new government of Slovenia.
The center-right Slovenian Democratic Party responded by tweeting about "her government lasting no longer than her skirt's length". (
In the event, Alenka Bratušek served as prime minister from March 2013 until April 2014.)
Gregor Virant welcomed the outcome of the vote, stating that it would enable Slovenia to move forward.
Foreign media thought that it would be difficult for Bratušek to form a new government and questioned whether she would continue with the reforms initiated by Janša's government.

A new parliamentary majority, formed by PS and the Social Democrats, was formed.
On 20 March, Bratušek formed a government.
During her tenure, she presided over the construction of the first mosque in the country.

In seeking to avoid a financial bailout her government won a vote of confidence by 50 to 31 on 15 November.

On 29 April 2014 she resigned from Positive Slovenia, after losing the party leadership to Zoran Janković on 26 April.
Following this development, Bratušek announced her resignation as prime minister, to take effect on 5 May 2014.
On 5 May, she officially submitted her resignation letter, triggering discussions about a snap election later in 2014.
She became the first Slovenian prime minister to resign from office; her resignation took effect on 8 May.
On 31 May 2014 she formed her own party Alliance of Alenka Bratušek (Zavezništvo Alenke Bratušek; ZaAB).
At the following election in July, ZaAB won four seats in the National Assembly, including one for Bratušek.
