The Fifth Hasina Ministry, the 21st cabinet of Bangladesh, was led by Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina. It was established following the 2024 general election held on 7 January 2024. The election results were declared on the same day, leading to the formation of the 12th assembly in the Jatiya Sangsad. A cabinet comprising 43 members was subsequently sworn in.[1]
On 5 August 2024, after days of deadly unrest in the country, Hasina was given an ultimatum by General Waker-uz-Zaman, the Bangladesh Chief of the Army Staff, to resign.[2] Later the same day, she resigned and fled to India.[a] Her rule ended in self-imposed exile following a series of violent protests in 2024.[b]
