The chief adviser of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাংলাদেশের প্রধান উপদেষ্টা, romanized: Bānlādēśēra pradhāna upādēśtā), officially Chief Adviser of the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali: গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশের প্রধান উপদেষ্টা, romanized: Gaṇaprajātantrī bānlādēśēra pradhāna upādēśtā), is the chief executive of the abolished caretaker and the interim government of Bangladesh, who serves as the head of government during the transition period between one elected government and another. With powers roughly equivalent to those of the Prime Minister of an elected government, their executive power is limited by the constitution. The Chief Adviser leads an Advisory Committee comprising several advisers (equivalent to a minister), all of them selected from among politically neutral individuals to be acceptable to all major political parties.[1] The office of the Chief Adviser is called Chief Adviser's Office.
