The First Khaleda ministry was the Government of Bangladesh during the 5th legislative session of the Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament) 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. [1]
Following the February 1996 general election, boycotted by most of the opposition parties, Khaleda Zia's new ministry was formed on 19 March 1996.
