The [[Bajoran Provisional Government]] was the government established on [[Bajor]] following the withdrawal of [[Cardassian]] occupational forces in 2369. It succeeded the Bajoran Occupational Government.

==Structure==

The chief executive of the Provisional Government was known as the [[First Minister]], who was elected every six years. (DS9: "Shakaar")

There were a number of [[Minister]]s who served in the Provisional Government and were known collectively over the duration of the government as the [[Bajoran Council]], [[Board of Ministers]], [[Chamber of Ministers]] and [[Council of Ministers]]. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae", "The Alternate", "The Homecoming", "Rapture", "In the Cards")

One high-ranking minister was the Minister of State. (DS9: "Duet")
==Relationship with religious leaders==

The secular Provisional Government shared its authority with the leaders of the [[Bajoran Religion]]. The [[Vedek Assembly]] held much influence, with prominent [[Vedek]]s often engaging in political matters, such as negotiating treaties. (DS9: "Life Support")

The [[Kai]], spiritual leader of Bajor, exercised a great deal of political influence over the Provisional Government. Disputes between the Kai and the First Minister of the government, while rare, could be extremely divisive. While it was not forbidden for the Kai to serve as First Minister, such concentration of power was discouraged. The Kai was permitted to engage in foreign policy, including negotiating and signing treaties on behalf of Bajor, in consultation with the secular authorities. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Collaborator", "Life Support", "Shakaar", "Rapture", "In the Cards")

The Emissary, Benjamin Sisko, also had significant clout in the Provisional Government. Ministers sought his advice on political programs and schemes. Any measures endorsed by the Emissary were likely to pass the Council of Ministers. (DS9: "Shattered Mirror", "Call to Arms")
==Agencies and institutes==

The Provisional Government maintained a number of executive agencies that assisted in the administration of its affairs. It was also oversaw several institutes for science and the arts. These included:

*[[Bajoran Agricultural Ministry]]
*[[Bajoran Archaeological Institute]]
*[[Bajoran Center for Science]]
*[[Bajoran Executive Committee]]
*[[Bajoran Freight and Shipping Authority]]
*[[Bajoran Intelligence]]
*[[Bajoran Ministry of Commerce]]
