The interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus has completed all preparations to hand over power to the incoming administration following the February 12 parliamentary election. Officials said the oath-taking ceremony for the new government is expected between February 16 and 18, with February 17 being prioritized. The Cabinet Division, Parliament Secretariat, and other relevant offices have been instructed to finalize arrangements, while Bangabhaban has been asked to remain ready to host the event.

According to government sources, multiple meetings have been held to coordinate the swearing-in of both new members of parliament and the incoming cabinet. The Election Commission has been requested to publish the gazette of elected MPs by February 13 or 14. The Ministry of Home Affairs is responsible for ensuring protocol and security for guests attending the ceremony, which is planned to be festive and inclusive. The President’s military division will oversee overall management at Bangabhaban’s Darbar Hall.

Meanwhile, the Parliament building and related facilities have been fully renovated after damage during the 2024 uprising, and a committee has been formed to select the new prime minister’s official residence from four proposed options.
