Bangladesh’s interim government has redistributed ministerial responsibilities among its advisers following the resignation of two key members, Mahfuz Alam and Asif Mahmud. A government gazette confirmed that Syeda Rizwana Hasan will now oversee the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, previously held by Mahfuz Alam. Professor Asif Nazrul has been assigned the Ministry of Youth and Sports, while Adilur Rahman will take charge of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development, and Cooperatives.

The resignations came after a meeting between Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus and the two outgoing advisers, Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan and Mahfuz Alam. The interim administration, formed in August last year under Yunus’s leadership, included representatives from the student movement that led the July uprising. The reshuffle follows earlier adjustments in which Asif Mahmud had been given additional responsibilities for the labor and local government ministries.

Political analysts view the latest reshuffle as an effort to maintain administrative stability ahead of the anticipated election schedule announcement. The reallocation aims to ensure continuity in governance as the interim government navigates growing political uncertainty.
