The Interim Government system of Bangladesh was established following the Non-cooperation Movement that arose in response to the 2024 Quota Reform Movement, after the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

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]
