Caretaker government of Bangladesh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caretaker government of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাংলাদেশের তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকার) is a form of government system, in which the country is ruled during the interim period between the removal of the old government and the takeover of the newly elected government. As the outgoing government hands over their power, caretaker government comes into place. The main objective of the caretaker government is to create an environment in which election could be held in a free and fair manner. The head of the government who is called the Chief Adviser is being selected by the President and Chief Adviser selects the other advisers. The administration is generally distributed between the advisers. Chief Adviser and the other advisers are committed for their activities to the President. Caretaker government was first introduced in 1990 when three party alliances jointly made a demand to appeal for it. In 2006, the system is activated for the fourth time. It was again reformed on 11 January 2007 and the newly appointed government is running the nation since. Current Chief Adviser is Fakhruddin Ahmed conjoint by ten other Advisers.
