The swearing-in ceremony of the interim Bangladesh government would be held on Thursday (tomorrow), the country’s army chief said.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 8pm, according to Dhaka Tribune.

“Armed forces will provide all possible support to Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus,” General Wakeruz Zaman said while addressing a press conference at the army headquarters.

“The members of the interim government may be as many as 15 members. One or two people may be more.”

This comes a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following a violent crackdown on a student-led uprising.

On Tuesday, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus was named chief adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government on Tuesday.

Yunus was appointed to the post by Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin after he held meetings with student leaders and chiefs of the three military services, local media reported late on Tuesday, citing a statement and officials from the president’s office.

Hasina’s flight ended her 15-year second stint in power in the country of 170 million people, which she had ruled for 20 of the last 30 years at the helm of a political movement inherited from her father, state founder Mujibur Rahman, after he was assassinated in 1975.

Since the early 1990s Hasina had feuded and alternated power with her rival Zia, who inherited her own political movement from her husband Ziaur Rahman, a ruler himself assassinated in 1981.
