Ziaur Rahman ministry
8th Council of Ministers of Bangladesh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ziaur Rahman ministry was the second democratically elected Council of Ministers of Bangladesh, during the 2nd legislative session of the Jatiya Sangsad. It was initially formed with members of a provisional council of ministers on 29 June 1978,[1] and with members elected to the reconvened parliament the following year on 15 April,[2] a few days after the martial law promulgated since the August 1975 coup was finally withdrawn following a general election in February 1979. The ministry served under the directly elected President Ziaur Rahman and, after his assassination, his acting president Abdus Sattar.[3] It was dissolved by Sattar after he won the snap 1981 presidential election in November and declared a new council of ministers.[4]
