Yunus ministry

An interim government led by Muhammad Yunus was formed on 8 August 2024 in Bangladesh, following the Resignation of Sheikh Hasina on 5 August 2024 amid nationwide protests against the government. Following the dissolution of the 12th Jatiya Sangsad on 6 August 2024, the interim cabinet was in office until a new Prime Minister was appointed after a snap general election. The government, like the previous non-caretaker government interim administrations (in 1975 and 1990), is extra-constitutional. However, Appellate Division, Supreme Court of Bangladesh affirmed the legality of the stopgap government on 9 August 2024, stating that the doctrine of necessity created an urgent need to manage state affairs and address the constitutional vacuum, similar to previous cases. The main pledge of his ministry was to forge consensus about and implement fundamental reforms that are required to hold a free and fair general election and constitutional referendum on the July Charter alongside the election on 12 February 2026.

President Mohammed Shahabuddin administered the oath of office to Yunus and his council of advisers at Bangabhaban on 8 August 2024. The cabinet consists of 1 Chief Adviser, 20 Advisers, 8 Special positions under the Chief Adviser's office and 5 Special assistants to the Chief Adviser under the Minister of State. The Jamuna State Guest House was served as the official residence of the Chief Adviser.
