The official order relieving the technocrat ministers of their duties have been issued, says Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam.
“The president has accepted their resignations. The official order will be available on the Cabinet Division’s website by 10pm (Sunday),” he told Bangla Tribune.
On Nov 6, all four technocrat ministers resigned following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s orders.
They are Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar, Religious Affairs Minister Matior Rahman, Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Nurul Islam BSc, and Science and Technology Minister Yeafesh Osman.
After the last shake-up in the cabinet in January, there were 30 ministers, 17 state ministers and two deputy ministers in the Hasina-led government.


Nurul Islam from Chattogram and Matior from Mymensingh had been MPs but had to leave their seats to the Awami League’s allies in the 2014 elections.
Jabbar, a leading IT entrepreneur, was included in Hasina’s cabinet in the latest shake-up.
Yeafesh, who had served as state minister for seven years, was elevated in the first shake-up in July 2015.
The prime minister told the technocrat Cabinet members to resign as part of the process to reconstitute the cabinet ahead of the general elections.
The Constitution does not offer a clear explanation of the election-time government and its cabinet.
Currently, the ruling party or coalition remains in power during the polls. Parliament is not dissolved but it does only routine jobs once the three-month countdown to elections starts.
Before the last general elections in 2014, Hasina had formed a smaller cabinet with leaders from the ruling Awami League’s allies.
