Background

On 7 October 1958, martial law was declared in Pakistan under the directive of Iskander Mirza, Pakistan's interim president, resulting in the dissolution of the Ataur ministry and the Provincial Assembly of East Pakistan. In 27 October, Mirza transferred his position to field marshal Ayub Khan. [1] [2] In an indirect referendum held on 14 February 1960, Khan was elected president for a five-year term. [3] On 1 March 1962, Khan promulgated the new constitution of Pakistan as president. [4] The provincial election was held on 6 May 1962, [5] and 155 members were elected to the Provincial Assembly. [6] The following day, Azam Khan, the governor of East Pakistan, resigned, with the resignation announced to take effect on 11 May 1962. [7]

On 11 May 1962, it was reported that president Khan and the new provincial governor Ghulam Faruque Khan were searching for suitable individuals for the new cabinet and preparing a proposed list. [8] In 29 May, Md. Hafizur Rahman was sworn in as finance minister of the province. [9] In 6 June, A. T. M. Mustafa took oath as law minister. [10] On 13 June 1962, it was reported from reliable sources that the cabinet might be completed before 19 June. [11] In 25 June, six more members were announced, with further additions to the cabinet expected. [12] The new members were sworn in the following day. [13] Later, Khwaja Hassan Askari became a member to the cabinet. [14]

Dissolution

On 25 October 1962, Abdul Monem Khan was announced as the new governor of the province, with his term expected to begin in 28 October. [15] According to the new constitution, the previous cabinet was dissolved upon the Monem's swearing-in, after which he began discussions regarding potential members of a new cabinet. [16] In 29 October, a new cabinet was formed with 9 members from the former governor's cabinet. [17]
