2006-2008

Caretaker Crisis and Emergency Rule

Between late 2006 and 2008, Bangladesh passed through a severe caretaker-system crisis marked by disputed electoral arrangements, escalating street conflict, the 11 January emergency, and prolonged non-elected rule before returning to electoral politics.

2007-2008

Emergency-era Caretaker Rule

After the 11 January 2007 emergency, Bangladesh entered a prolonged caretaker-governed period backed by security institutions. Anti-corruption drives, political detentions, and administrative restructuring took place under a non-elected framework before the December 2008 election restored elected government. The period remains one of the most contested transitions in contemporary Bangladeshi politics.
