Law Minister Md. Anisul Haque announced that the next national parliamentary election in Bangladesh will be held under a caretaker government, following a directive from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. He made the statement during a press conference at his office in the Secretariat on Thursday morning, adding that a bill related to this matter will be introduced in the upcoming session of the National Parliament.

The minister stated that the Appellate Division’s verdict reflects the aspirations of the people. Once the full copy of the judgment is received, the government will form a special committee to amend the constitution accordingly. He emphasized that the government will uphold public expectations, including those expressed in the July Charter, as part of its commitment to democratic governance.

The announcement marks a significant step toward implementing the Supreme Court’s directive and preparing the legislative framework for the caretaker government system ahead of the next election.
