Pedro II appointed Honório Hermeto to head a new cabinet on 20 January 1843, establishing him as the de facto first president of the Council of Ministers.
The appointment occurred in Rio de Janeiro, following Paraná's prior political roles. He had secured positions as councillor and senator, and his leadership in the Reactionary Party facilitated his rise. The office existed informally, with formal creation occurring later in 1847.
