Bangladesh National Party (BNP) leader Tarique Rahman on Tuesday took the oath of office as the 11th prime minister of the South Asian nation.

Bangladesh's President Mohammed Shahabuddin administered the oath to the BNP chairman and 49-member Cabinet, in front of the parliament building in the capital Dhaka.

Earlier Tuesday, 297 lawmakers, including those from the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led bloc, were sworn in for the 13th parliament, elected in last week’s historic elections, the first time since the 2024 uprising, which uprooted the 15-year-long government of the Awami League.
