Sadık Rifat Pasha's career was initially in line with the three statesmen of the Tanzimat era (Mustafa Reshid Pasha, Mehmed Emin Âli Pasha and Mehmed Fuad Pasha).[2] However, the internal competition and the frequent changes of the places of Ottoman bureaucrats at the time, such as the checkers, and especially the foreign powers' intervention prevented him holding office for a longer term. He died at a relatively young age in 1857.
