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.
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]
