After the election of 1971 Kruisinga was elected as a Member of the House of Representatives, taking office on 11 May 1971. After the election of 1971 the Leader of the Christian Historical Union and Parliamentary leader of the Christian Historical Union in the House of Representatives Bé Udink was appointed as Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning in the Cabinet Biesheuvel I, the Christian Historical Union leadership approached Kruisinga as interim Parliamentary leader, taking office on 6 July 1971 until Jur Mellema was approached as the new Leader and Parliamentary leader in the House of Representatives on 26 July 1971. Following cabinet formation of 1971 Kruisinga himself was appointed as State Secretary for Transport and Water Management in the Cabinet Biesheuvel I, taking office on 28 July 1971.

After the election of 1972 Kruisinga returned as a Member of the House of Representatives, taking office on 19 December 1972 but he was still serving in the cabinet and because of dualism customs in the constitutional convention of Dutch politics he couldn't serve a dual mandate he subsequently resigned as State Secretary on 20 March 1973. In June 1973 Arnold Tilanus announced he was stepping down as Leader and Parliamentary leader, the Christian Historical Union leadership approached Kruisinga as his successor, Kruisinga accepted and became the Leader and Parliamentary leader, taking office on 1 July 1973. On 10 December 1976 the Christian Historical Union, the Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) and the Catholic People's Party (KVP) choose to merge in a political alliance to form the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA). Incumbent Deputy Prime Minister Dries van Agt of the Catholic People's Party was choose as the first Leader of the Christian Democratic Appeal and became the Lijsttrekker for the election of 1977. The following cabinet formation of 1977 resulted in a coalition agreement between the Christian Democratic Appeal and the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) which formed the Cabinet Van Agt-Wiegel with Kruisinga was appointed as Minister of Defence, taking office on 19 December 1977.

  • Roelof Johannes Hendrik Kruisinga (Grijpskerk, 27 augustus 1922 – Wassenaar, 7 december 2012) was arts, volksgezondheidsdeskundige en zorgbestuurder, en was een CHU- en CDA-politicus en staatssecretaris en minister voor deze partijen. Kruisinga werd geboren in Grijpskerk. Hij kwam uit een doopsgezinde familie, maar liet zichzelf op volwassen leeftijd bewust niet dopen en trad toe tot de Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk (nu deel van de PKN), naar eigen zeggen omdat hij het volkskerk karakter daarvan belangrijk vond. Hij specialiseerde zich tot kno-arts en promoveerde in 1955 cum laude aan de RUG op de dissertatie Slechthorendheid en het verstaan van spraak: een onderzoek naar de validiteit van het gehoororgaan. Hij vervulde als arts verschillende functies in de gezondheidszorg, werd uiteindelijk directeur-generaal van de Volksgezondheid en daarna staatssecretaris van Volksgezondheid en Verkeer en Waterstaat. Hij bracht in die functies wetgeving tot stand over lucht- en waterverontreiniging. Hij volgde in 1973 Tilanus jr. op als fractievoorzitter van de CHU. In die positie voer hij een andere koers dan zijn collega-fractieleiders van de overige twee confessionele partijen, KVP en ARP, die gedoogden dat 6 politici van KVP- en ARP-huize op persoonlijke titel deelnamen aan het progressieve minderheidskabinet van Den Uyl; Kruisinga voerde samen met Wiegel oppositie tegen dit kabinet-Den Uyl. Om die reden werd hij door de PvdA-onderhandelaars in de kabinetsformatie van 1977 geweigerd als potentieel minister in een beoogd tweede kabinet Den Uyl. Kruisinga was in het eerste kabinet-Van Agt korte tijd minister van Defensie. Hij trad al na een paar maanden af, omdat hij zich keerde tegen het Amerikaanse besluit een neutronenbom te gaan ontwikkelen. Als achtergrond van zijn bezwaren tegen het neutronenwapen noemde hij het doorwerken van het traditionele vredesgetuigenis uit zijn doopsgezinde verleden. Daarom bestond er voor zijn optreden ook binnen het kabinet weinig draagvlak. Begin jaren tachtig was hij vicepresident van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie. Nadien zat hij van 1981 tot 1991 voor het CDA in de Eerste Kamer. (nl)
