The coup d'état was facilitated after the government of President Abdulaziz Al-Qazwini was subject to an economic and political crisis as the government attempted to pursue radical Islamist reforms. After failing to put through a new penal code that would enshrine Sharia law into the Qatifi legal system, Al-Qazwini's government faced political crisis. After facing a no confidence vote Joseph refused to step down from office, enabling the military led by Al-Zadi and supported by the Ba'athist government of Prime Minister Zayd Hossaini in August to remove Al-Qazwini from power creating the ASBA in its place.
