The '''Sixth Kerala Legislative Assembly Council of Ministers''', first '''E. K. Nayanar ministry''', was a [[Kerala Council of Ministers]] (Kerala Cabinet), the executive wing of [[Kerala]] [[Government of Kerala|state government]], led by [[Communist Party of India|Communist Party]] leader [[E. K. Nayanar]] from 25 January 1980 to 20 October 1981. It had 17 ministries. Many of its ministers were from [[Congress (A)]], a party split off from the [[Indian National Congress (Urs)]] by [[A K Antony]], when the Congress (Urs) was accused of rampant corruption.

Ideological differences among the ruling partners arose, culminating in the withdrawal of support to the ministry by the [[Congress (S)]]. When the eight-member [[Kerala Congress (M)]] also withdrew support to the Government, Nayanar tendered resignation and [[President's rule]] was imposed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kerala.gov.in/political-background|title=Political Background - Government of Kerala, India|date=2019-11-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191110051039/https://kerala.gov.in/political-background|access-date=2019-11-10|archive-date=10 November 2019}}</ref>
