The First Khaleda ministry was the Government of Bangladesh during the 5th and 6th legislative sessions of the Jatiya Sangsad following the 1991 Bangladeshi general election. It began on 20 March 1991 and but had to be sworn in again on 19 September after the 12th constitutional amendment took effect following a constitutional referendum. In accordance to the amendment, all executive powers were transferred from the president to the prime minister and thus Khaleda Zia became the first female head of government of Bangladesh. The council of ministers was dissolved on 31 March 1996, when a constitutional non-partisan interim caretaker government system was introduced for the holding of general elections after the February 1996 general election conducted by the ministry was boycotted by most of the opposition.
