How was cabinet for 3 consecutive terms?
The Ninth National Assembly elections were held on 29 December 2008 under the caretaker government system. In that election, the Awami League-led coalition government formed the government by getting 263 seats.
On January 6, 2009, Sheikh Hasina was sworn in as Prime Minister and formed a 32-member cabinet. After 18 days, six more people joined the cabinet. After two years and 10 months, two more were made ministers.
On January 5, 2014, the 10th National Assembly elections were held. Voting was held in total 147 constituencies in this election. BNP and the alliance led by it boycotted the elections. Awami League and its partner parties won unopposed in 153 seats.
On January 12 of that year, a new cabinet was formed with Sheikh Hasina as the prime minister. Then most of the old ministers were excluded and the government was formed with the relatively new and senior leaders of the party who were left out during the previous government.
Apart from the Prime Minister, 29 ministers, 17 state ministers and two deputy ministers were appointed in that cabinet. Later the size of the cabinet was further increased.
Awami League came to power for the third consecutive term through the elections of December 30, 2018. However, there are many questions and controversies about this election. Awami League, Jatiya Party and allies got 288 seats in the election. BNP and Oikya Front got only seven. Others get three seats.
The Cabinet was formed on January 6, 2019. The size of the cabinet including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is 47 people. 31 of them were new faces. Besides, many who were in the cabinet formed after the 2008 elections also got a place in this cabinet.
