The Ziaur Rahman ministry was the second democratically elected Council of Ministers of Bangladesh during the 2nd legislative session of the Jatiya Sangsad. It was formed on 15 April 1979,[1] a few days after the martial law promulgated since 1975 was finally withdrawn following a general election in February. The cabinet served under the directly elected President Ziaur Rahman and, after his assassination, his acting president Abdus Sattar.[2] It was dissolved by Sattar after he won the snap presidential election in November and declared a new Council of Ministers.[3]
