The interim government system of Bangladesh was established following the non-cooperation movement that arose in response to the July Revolution, after the resignation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The incumbent interim government is the Yunus ministry, led by the Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Background
[edit]This interim government system was confirmed on August 5, 2024, by the President of Bangladesh in coordination with several coordinators of the Anti-discrimination Student Movement and the Chief of Bangladesh Army.[1][2] Subsequently, on August 8, an interim government was formed with Muhammad Yunus as the chief adviser after taking the oath.[3][4][5][6] This system is the successor of the former Caretaker government of Bangladesh.
It has no constitutional basis.[7] It has a constitutional obligation to hold elections between November to January 2024.[7]
