In the post-coup governments until the establishment of the monarchy in June 2020, the minister was titled again as Minister of Home Affairs. On 17 June 2020, the position was renamed to that of Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security which was again renamed to its original name on 28 January 2021 and the name has been renamed the same since then.
