BNP Moves to Form New Cabinet Blending Senior Leaders and Young Faces
After securing a majority in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has begun preparations to form a new government under the leadership of Tarique Rahman. Party insiders say the cabinet structure is almost finalised.
The proposed lineup aims to combine experienced senior figures with emerging young leaders. According to BNP sources, the goal is to fulfill election promises, speed up administrative reforms, introduce new policy directions, and build future leadership within the government.
Several former ministers from the 2001–2006 BNP government are reportedly being considered. Leaders known for maintaining clean reputations and handling ministries without controversy in the past may receive important portfolios.
Key positions under discussion include:
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir – Presidency
Abdul Moyeen Khan – Speaker
Mirza Abbas – Communications Ministry
Salahuddin Ahmed – Local Government Ministry
Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury – Commerce Ministry
A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon – Education Ministry
Senior leaders Goyeshwar Chandra Roy and Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku are also likely to receive cabinet roles. Nazrul Islam Khan may serve as Political Adviser to the Prime Minister.

The new cabinet is also expected to feature several fresh faces, including:
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi – Information and Broadcasting (Technocrat)
Ismail Zabihullah – Public Administration (Technocrat)
Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie – State Minister for Home Affairs
Humayun Kabir – State Minister for Foreign Affairs (Technocrat)

Advocate Fazlur Rahman – Liberation War Affairs
Allies May Join ‘National Government’
