The Council of Ministers is a branch of the government of Bajor.
In 2373 the Council of Ministers voted to delay acceptance of Federation membership after Captain Benjamin Sisko warned that it was too soon to join, and that doing so would destroy Bajor. Sisko was later confronted by Admiral Charlie Whatley about contacting the Chamber of Ministers and try to convince them to change their minds, to tell them that it was a mistake. (DS9: "Rapture")
