An interim government led by the Shahabuddin Ahmed ministry in Bangladesh was formed on 6 December 1990, following President Lt. Gen. HM Ershad's resignation in the face of the mass uprising against his regime.[1] The cabinet was dissolved on 20 March 1991, when Khaleda Zia of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which bagged the majority seats in the general election held in February, was appointed as the prime minister.[2] Ahmed took over as the acting President of the country when he was chosen by all political parties including Ershad to hold the interim government that would oversee a neutral general election.[3] He administered the oath of office to his council of advisers at Bangabhaban on 9 December 1990.
