Ahmad Mukhtar Baban (1900 - 1976) ( _ar. أحمد مختار بابان) was the last Prime Minister of Iraq under the monarchy in 1958.Baban became prime minister on May 18, 1958, during a time of political tension. The monarchies of Iraq and Jordan had recently agreed upon a confederation known as the Arab Federation. The federation, and Baban's time as prime minister, lasted for only two months, as on July 14, 1958, the monarchy was overthrown in a coup, a republic was established, and Baban was dismissed, though unlike the royal family and many Iraqi politicians in the monarchy, he was not killed.
