DHAKA — Bangladesh’s interim government chief Muhammad Yunus and leaders of the country’s political parties signed the July Charter on Friday afternoon at the South Plaza of Parliament Building, in a document being treated as a tribute to the sacrifice and bloodshed of the people during the July-August 2024 mass uprising and as an instrument of reconciliation.
Under the much-discussed July National Charter, no person in Bangladesh may serve as prime minister for more than 10 years. The charter states that the relevant articles of the constitution will be amended as required to enforce the cap.
A total of 33 political parties, including the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, agreed to the 10-year limit on the prime minister’s tenure.
