If you count in Nurul Amin, Mujib, and not count Khan, Pakistan still had more Bengali heads of state, than Punjabis, 5 vs 4.

Actually, Nurul Amin of the east was a Chief Minister of East Pakistan. He was neither a Governor-General nor a PM of the central govt of Pakistan.

It was Khwaja Nazimuddin of Dhaka who was a PM at the center but took over the post of GG after the death of Quaid-e-Azam. He was soon ousted by his hand-picked PM, Malik Gulam Muhammed from the west. So, technically, east had one PM and one GG by this time, the same person.

At some point, Muhammed Ali Bogra of the east became the PM of Pakistan. He was descended from Sultan Ghyasuddin Balban of Delhi through his 2nd son Bogra Khan who was the ruler of Bengal.

General Iskander Mirza of the east was also the President of Pakistan. He was a direct descendent of Nawab Mir Zafar Ali Khan of Bengal.

Then it was Hussain Shahid Suhrawardy who became the PM of Pakistan. He and Mirza were ousted by General Ayub Khan in a military takeover in 1958.

So, it was five times (4 individuals) that leaders from the east became either a GG, a President, or a PM during the period of united Pakistan.

However, people should know that the 1st PM of Pakistan Liaqat Ali Khan was not an MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) when he was handpicked by Mr. Jinnah.

He was later elected in a by-election somewhere in Barisal. So, technically we can count him also from the east.

Nurul Amin was an acting president, though just for a week, wasn't he? He was also technically a PM for just 13 days.

Yes, you are right. Wartime or what he was what he became. Wiki citation below:

"As the situation in his home province of East Pakistan worsened, Amin was appointed Prime Minister by President General Yahya Khan on 6 December 1971. On 20 December 1971, however, Amin's term as prime minister was cut short as Khan resigned, leaving the Deputy Prime Minister (and Foreign Minister) Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to be sworn in as the new president".

"Two days later, Amin was appointed as Vice President of Pakistan, the only person to have held this post. He was sworn into the post again on 23 April 1972 after the interim constitution came into effect and martial law was lifted. He continued to hold the post until the office was abolished with the entry into force of the new constitution on 14 August 1973".

Yes, this Muslim League leader from Bengal left for Pakistan and officiated over Pakistan but without a real base. He died in west Pakistan.
