A caretaker government (CTG) is a type of government that rules temporarily for a specific time period. It operates in the period between the normal dissolution of parliament for the purpose of holding an election and the formation of a new government after the election results are known.
In Bangladesh, an advisor council rules the country for three months before an elected government takes over. Former chief judge is the chief adviser. He leads the advisory council. Top members of the caretaker government do not represent any political party. They are not allowed to contest the elections. The main objective of the caretaker government is to create an environment in which an election can be held in a free, fair and unbiased manner.
Caretaker government is not empowered to take any policy decisions unless necessary. Chief Adviser is selected by the President. The Chief Adviser selects the other advisers. The top positions of the administration are generally distributed among the advisers. The Chief Adviser and the other advisers are committed for their activities to the President.
In Bangladesh, a caretaker government has managed the elections and transitions of 1996, 2001 and 2008. Although the first caretaker government was intended to help the transition from authoritarianism to democracy, this system was adopted as part of the Constitution in 1996 by the Sixth Parliament.
Though it looks the perfect system for Bangladesh, it has its own issues. An extra-constitutional military-backed CTG was installed in 2007. It governed the country without legitimacy, but ultimately handed over power to the elected political party following the parliamentary election. They were under pressure internationally to yield to a democratically elected government.
In spite of some problems with the system, it still remains the perfect system for Bangladesh. It is the only solution to the political crisis of the country.
