Fifth Hasina ministry

The Fifth Hasina Ministry, the 22nd 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. 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. Later the same day, she resigned and fled to India. Her rule ended via self-imposed exile following nationwide protests. The parliament was dissolved by the President Mohammed Shahabuddin the following day.

Swearing-in ceremony

The fifth oath of office ceremony of Sheikh Hasina as Prime Minister of Bangladesh took place on January 11, 2024, following her party's victory in the 2024 general election. The oath of office was administered by President Mohammed Shahabuddin, marking the formation of the Fifth Hasina ministry and the 12th Jatiya Sangsad.

On 7 January 2024, the Awami League won the 2024 election. They defeated the opposition under GM Quader of the Jatiya Party. Awami League won 216 Seats while the opposition only won 11 Seats. The election, however, was boycotted by all major political parties in Bangladesh. The election only had a voter turnout of 41%, a 38 percentage point decrease from the prior election. The Awami league has been accused for forging the opposition.
The 12th Jatiya Sangsad was formed.
They held their first session on January 30.

The mass uprising in Bangladesh began as a quota reform movement to reform the quota rule for government jobs, after the Supreme Court of Bangladesh invalidated the government's 2018 circular regarding job quotas in the public sector. It began in early June 2024 and was led by the Students Against Discrimination. Coinciding with the first anniversary of the Resignation of Sheikh Hasina, on 5 August 2025, the revolution received an acknowledgment with the announcement of the July Declaration.
The movement escalated into a full-fledged mass uprising after the government carried out mass killings of protesters, known as the July massacre, by late July. Amnesty International blamed the government's "heavy-handed response" for causing the death of "students, journalists, and bystanders" and demanded that the Hasina-led "government to urgently end this repression." Human Rights Watch also called on foreign governments to urge Hasina to "end the use of excessive force against protesters and hold troops to account for human rights abuses."
By early August, the movement evolved into a non-cooperation movement, ultimately leading to the ouster of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India. Hasina's ouster triggered a constitutional crisis, leading to the formation of an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus as the chief adviser.
