The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is preparing to form a new government after its landslide victory in the 13th parliamentary election. With the swearing-in scheduled for Tuesday, political attention has turned to the composition of the first cabinet and the allocation of key ministries. Party sources indicate that Tarique Rahman, set to become prime minister for the first time, aims to combine the experience of senior figures with the energy of new leadership. Discussions are ongoing at the party’s Gulshan office, where Rahman is meeting senior leaders and advisers to finalize the list of ministers.

Analysts suggest the cabinet will emphasize administrative efficiency and a clean, public-oriented image, prioritizing ministries such as finance, home, foreign affairs, local government, education, and health. The BNP is reportedly considering both veteran politicians and younger members who performed well in the election. Leaders active in the party’s long political movements are also expected to be recognized, while controversial figures will likely be excluded.

Allied leaders from the joint anti-government movement are expected to join the cabinet, reflecting BNP’s earlier pledge for a participatory national government aimed at restoring democracy and good governance.
