In 1876 he helped depose Abdülaziz and eventually replaced him with Abdülhamid II.
Again appointed grand vizier, he was dismissed after six months. Afterward, he was banished but later was recalled and made governor of Smyrna. He then was arrested and convicted for Abdülaziz's death. His death sentence was commuted to permanent exile. &Seealso; Tanzimat.
