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the following year on 15 April,[2] a few days after the martial law promulgated since the August 1975 coup was finally withdrawn following a general election in February. 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 presidential election in November and declared a new council of ministers.[4]
