The Cabinet of Hanna Suchocka was the council of ministers led by the first Polish woman prime minister Hanna Suchocka, between 11 July 1992 and 26 October 1993. The cabinet was formed after Waldemar Pawlak, presidential nominee for prime minister, had failed with creating his government and resigned. Simultaneous talks led to appointment of coalition government composed of seven parties headed with Suchocka as the least controversial candidate. [1]
