After some courtship Görgey accepted the position of the minister of defence from Kossuth. For a while he tried to ride both horses - the position of commander-in-chief and the ministership - simultaneously but that made the leading of the troops inefficient. He met the Peace Party however, which wished to seek an agreement with the Kaiser. Military dictatorship was discussed, that he should take over the power and then make an agreement with Franz Joseph how to place it into his. According to his memoir, he refused them, in an article - which actually takes his side - I read he offered military takeover, but the Peace Party shied off. According to Kossuth he promised Görgey many times to help him to more power if he wanted it, but Görgey was reluctant, even make him agreeing the ministership wasn't easy. I guess he really didn't want political power, he was fine as a soldier, a high ranking one, but still just a soldier.
