It is noteworthy that after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left the country amidst protests, President Md. Sahabuddin dissolved the parliament and appointed Nobel laureate economist Dr. Muhammad Yunus as the Chief Adviser of the interim government, along with 16 other advisers. Subsequently, four more advisers were added to the interim government.
After taking the oath on August 8, Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus initially held the responsibilities of 27 ministries. Following the inclusion of the new advisers, the responsibilities within the interim government were redistributed, and now, they have been reassigned once again.
