Dhaka - Bangladesh swore in a caretaker government leader yesterday to organise new elections, after a violent two-day transition in which 12 people were illed.
As head of the caretaker government, former chief justice Mr Latifur Rahman has the task of organising general elections within three months. The interim regime takes over from the administration of prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed, whose term ended late on Friday.
Mr Rahman said: "My main task is to create proper atmosphere for elections and the priority is law and order situation."
