An ongoing constitutional crisis emerged in Bangladesh on 5 August 2024, after the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, resigned and shelter to India as protesters stormed her residence and office in Dhaka during a massive mass uprising.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Hasina's flight to India triggered the constitutional crisis because the existing constitution has no provisions for an interim government or any other form of government in the event that the prime minister resigns and the parliament is dissolved.[7] Although Article 123 of the constitution mandates general elections within 90 days following the dissolution of parliament, no clear guidelines exist for the powers and structure of an interim government.

Several days after Hasina's departure, her son, Sajeeb Wazed, claimed she remained the incumbent prime minister of Bangladesh, as she had not signed a resignation letter.[8]

My mother never officially resigned. She didn’t get the time.... As far as the constitution goes, she is still the prime minister.

– Sajeeb Wazed to Reuters[9]
Three days after her flight, an interim government was formed, with Muhammad Yunus sworn in as Chief Adviser.[10][3] Following the oath-taking of the interim government, student leader and ICT adviser Nahid Islam announced that a constituent assembly election would be held to draft and adopt a new constitution to resolve the crisis. The interim government also established a Constitutional Reform Commission to prepare a roadmap for the constituent assembly election.
