Yunus ministry

Following the dissolution of the 12th Jatiya Sangsad on 6 August 2024, the interim cabinet will remain in office until a new Prime Minister is appointed after a snap general election.

The main pledge of his ministry is organize a constituent assembly to draft and adopt a new, democratic and inclusive constitution, ensuring the inviolability of human dignity.

[5] On 5 August 2024, Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina resigned and went on a self-imposed exile to India amidst a nationwide uprising.

Following her resignation, Chief of Army Staff General Waker-uz-Zaman and President Mohammed Shahabuddin announced the formation of an interim government.

The Anti-discrimination Students Movement, lead organisation of the uprising, proposed economist and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who was then residing in Paris, to head the interim government.

[126] However, with Awami League President and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigning and fleeing the country amid protests,[127][128] the Appellate Division of the Bangladeshi Supreme Court has acknowledged the necessity of the Yunus government.

The court took the line that Hasina's resignation created a situation for which there was no constitutional remedy, as the Bangladeshi legal system can no longer account for transfers of power.

[130] Hence, despite the lack of constitutional legality for an interim government, due to extremely broad popular support and the need to ensure that a military junta takeover like in 1975 is prevented, Yunus was sworn in on the night of August 8, 2024.
