Bangladesh’s interim government has issued the ‘July National Charter (Constitutional Reform) Implementation Order 2025,’ outlining a detailed formula for forming an election-time caretaker government. The charter specifies a five-member selection committee—comprising the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader, Speaker, Deputy Speaker from the opposition, and a representative from the second-largest opposition party—to nominate the Chief Adviser. The Chief Adviser cannot be over 75 years old or be the sitting President. The caretaker government will serve for 90 days, extendable by 30 days in emergencies. The process includes multiple stages of nomination, consensus, and ranked-choice voting if no agreement is reached. A national referendum will be held alongside the February parliamentary elections to approve the charter’s provisions. The Supreme Court is set to deliver a verdict on November 20 regarding appeals related to restoring the caretaker system. Some political parties, including the BNP, have expressed dissent over parts of the selection process, though all major parties agreed in principle to reintroduce the caretaker system.
