Sutan Sjahrir
The first Sjahrir cabinet was established following the 11 November 1945 demand from the Central Indonesian National Committee, which was the "de facto" legislature, that the cabinet be responsible to it, not to President Sukarno. The existing cabinet was dismissed and Sutan Sjahrir was asked to become prime minister. He agreed to do so on the condition he was allowed to select his own cabinet. The cabinet lineup was announced on 14 November 1945.
