| Summary/Abstract |
In 1991, an interim arrangement called the caretaker system was introduced in Bangladesh to facilitate the transition from dictatorship to democracy. Following the scrapping of this system, the journey of Bangladesh democracy continued a bumpy ride, cantering around the around the holding of tenth general elections. The awami league (AL) and the allies were adamant on holding the general elections under elected people at the helm while the Bangladesh nationalist party (BNP) and allies were not prepared to budge an inch in bringing back the non-party caretaker system. in fact, even after restoration of democracy in 1991, the democratic system in Bangladesh had little room for development.
