On February 8, 2022, Ebrahim ordered the ministers and their deputies to tender courtesy resignations, while the director generals of each ministry were directed to temporarily take over.[2][3] Three new ministers, most of whom assumed their posts at an undisclosed date, took their oaths on March 14, 2022.[4]
On September 23, 2022, a new set of members took their oaths, most of whom were reappointed.[5][6]
In late 2023, another major change occurred as several ministers filed courtesy resignations following an order from Ebrahim.[7]

Notes
- On February 8, 2022, the ministers were directed to tender courtesy resignation as part of a cabinet reshuffle.[2] Actual resignation could have been tendered on or after that date until their successors took their oath on March 14, 2022. The Bangsamoro Information Office noted that the successors assumed offices weeks ago from March 14, 2022.[4]
