Governor of East Pakistan

The Governor of East Pakistan, formerly known as the Governor of East Bengal, served as the appointed head of province of the provincial government and the representative of President of Pakistan in East Pakistan (previously East Bengal). The Governor functioned as the head of government during periods of Governor's Rule in East Pakistan, between 1954–1955 and 1958–1972, when the Provincial Assembly was dissolved. In periods when the Chief Minister held executive authority, the Governor primarily served as a ceremonial head of state.
