The First Monem ministry was the eleventh cabinet formed in East Pakistan, the former eastern administrative wing of Pakistan. It was established under the leadership of Abdul Monem Khan, the governor of East Pakistan, during the 1962 East Pakistan Provincial Assembly election. The cabinet lasted for approximately two and a half years.
Background and dissolution
On 25 October 1962, Abdul Monem Khan was appointed as the new governor of East Pakistan, and it was announced that his tenure would begin in 28 October.[1] Under the new Constitution, the previous Faruque ministry was dissolved following the governor's oath-taking, and Monem began discussions regarding the possible members of a new cabinet.[2] In 29 October, a new cabinet was formed comprising nine members of the former governor's ministry.[3] On 4 March 1963, two members of the cabinet resigned.[4] In August of the same year, cabinet member A. T. M. Mustafa was nominated as a member of the federal cabinet of Pakistan.[5] On 12 March 1964, minister Abdus Salam resigned. The following day, three more members were added to the cabinet, after which it was reorganized.[6] After winning the 1965 Pakistani presidential election, Ayub Khan was announced president of Pakistan for the second time.[7] On Republic Day of the same year, Khan was sworn in as president. As a result, Monem's tenure as governor ended, along with the tenure of his ministers.[8][9]
