The Baburam Bhattarai cabinet was formed on 29 August 2011 after Baburam Bhattarai of UCPN (Maoist) was appointed as prime minister. The cabinet was expanded on 4 September, 15 September and 8 November 2011. The coalition government was formed with the United Democratic Madhesi Front and minor parties in the Constituent Assembly.
The ministers in the coalition resigned on 4 May 2012 to make way for a national unity government. The cabinet was reformed on 5 May 2012 including the Nepali Congress and CPN (UML). The cabinet was expanded on 16 and 18 May. Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) withdrew from the cabinet on 29 May 2012.
