Mohammed Koya ministry, from 12 October to 01 December, 1979, 4th ministry from the 5th Kerala Legislative Assembly, was a coalition government headed Indian Union Muslim League leader C. H. Mohammed Koya and supported by Congress leader K. Karunakaran.[1] Koya was the first Indian Union Muslim League member to lead a state in independent India.[2]
Gift Deeds Bill, an amendment to the Kerala Land Reforms Act, was passed by the Koya ministry.[3] It validated gifts from owners with surplus land to their children or children of deceased children executed between 01 January 1, 1970 and 05 November, 1974.[3] The amendment reduced the redistributive potential of the Kerala land ceiling legislations.[3]
The ministry was formed after the resignation of the P. K. Vasudevan Nair ministry in October, 1979.[1] The coalition was supported by Kerala Congress K. M. Mani Group and P. J. Joseph Group. Kerala Congress K. M. Mani Group withdrew its support for the coalition in mid-November, 1979. When the Congress A. K. Antony Group withdrew its support for the coalition, Koya lost his Legislative Assembly majority, and resigned in December, 1979. The Koya ministry lasted 1 month and 20 days.[1]
After a brief President's Rule, it was succeeded by the first E. K. Nayanar ministry (25 January, 1980).[1]
