Baban became prime minister on 19 May 1958, during a time of political tension.[2][3] The monarchies of Iraq andJordan had recently agreed upon a confederation known as theArab Federation. The federation, and Baban's time as prime minister, lasted for only two months.[citation needed]
On 14 July 1958, the monarchy was overthrown in a coup, and a republic was established underAbdul Karim Qassim.[citation needed] Baban was arrested and sentenced to death by the People's Court, which was established under Qassim's leadership following the coup.[citation needed] Unlike the royal family and many Iraqi politicians in the monarchy, the sentence was reduced to life in prison.
