The Fakhruddin Ahmed ministry was the fourth caretaker ministry in the history of Bangladesh which was formed on 11 January 2007 under the leadership of Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed. The caretaker ministry was formed on the background of the 2006–2008 Bangladeshi political crisis following a military coup,[1] notoriously nicknamed "1/11" inspired by 9/11,[2] led by General Moeen U Ahmed and the resignation of President Iajuddin Ahmed as the Chief Adviser. Ahmed appointed an team of thirteen advisers to form the government.[3][4][5] During his tenure, many high-profile figures, most importantly the two dominant political party leaders Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina, were arrested as part of the emergency government's anticorruption crusade and its attempt to break the women's stranglehold on the country's politics.[6] The attempt was controversially known as the "minus two" formula due to the aim being the exclusion of the two from further political participation.[7]

The caretaker government underwent a reshuffle on 8 January 2008.[8]
