He ruled from 23 March 1821 to 30 April 1821 as grand vizier of Sultan Mahmud II[1] He came to Constantinople on 21 April 1821 and was actually only nine days in power.[1]
He was the last grand vizier clearly executed upon a clear order by a Sultan (Mahmud II).
According to Ottoman biography textbook called Sicill-i Osmani, on 12 April 1821[citation needed] he was diminished by Sultan Mahmud and was sent to exile in Rhodes, where he died later. Controversially according to Ottoman annals by royal historian Vak'a-nüvis Ahmet Cevdet Efendi (textbook called Tarih-i Cevdet), he was sent in exile to Cyprus and after his departure royal executors were sent to the island.[citation needed] He was interred at Karacaahmet Cemetery in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul.
