The government reshuffle followed the election for the Kuvendi i Shqipërisë on July 10, 1966. All ministers already belonged to the previous cabinet. Several office changes had already taken place by this time: As of January 1, 1965, the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Geology was split up into separate ministries; in the first months of 1966, the offices of the first deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers were dissolved and the number of deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers was reduced. The structure of the cabinet remained stable over the four-year term.
