Chief Adviser of Bangladesh

The Chief Adviser of Bangladesh serves as the head of government during the transition period between one elected government and another. With powers equivalent to those of the prime minister of an elected government, their executive power is limited by the constitution. The chief adviser leads an advisory committee comprising several advisers (equivalent to a minister), all of them selected from among politically neutral individuals to be acceptable to all major political parties. The most recent person to occupy the post was Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. He was appointed Chief Adviser after the student revolution, leading the transitional period from 2024 until 2026.
