Bangladesh Moves To Bicameral Parliament Under New Reform Order
Bangladesh President Issues July National Charter Implementation Order, Introduces Bicameral Parliament
Under the new order, once the referendum is approved, the next parliament will hold a dual mandate, serving both as the legislature and as the Constitutional Reform Council.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin on Thursday issued the July National Charter (Constitution Reform) Implementation Order, 2025, revoking the clause that previously allowed constitutional reform measures to be automatically enacted if the Constitutional Reform Council failed to act within a given timeframe.
Under the new order, once the referendum is approved, the next parliament will hold a dual mandate, serving both as the legislature and as the Constitutional Reform Council. This body will have 180 days from its first sitting to finalise and enact the necessary constitutional amendments.

Earlier, the Consensus Commission, while presenting its recommendations to the government on the implementation of the July Charter, had advised granting the Reform Council a 270-day period to carry out constitutional amendments.
As an alternative, the commission had also suggested that if the council failed to complete its work within that timeframe, the proposed reform measures should be automatically incorporated into the constitution.
The order also outlines the introduction of a bicameral legislature, with the Upper House of the Jatiya Sangsad to be formed through a proportional representation (PR) system.
In a national address, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus elaborated that the Upper House will comprise 100 members, proportionally representing the votes received by political parties in the national parliamentary elections. Any constitutional amendment will require the approval of a majority of Upper House members.
Upcoming parliament will be bicameral. Upper House of 100 members will be formed based on the proportion of votes received by parties in the national parliamentary elections, and constitutional amendments will require the approval of a majority of Upper House members, says Yunus https://t.co/A3uNySRUZv — Sidhant Sibal (@sidhant) November 13, 2025
Yunus further explained that if the referendum yields a “yes” vote, the Constitutional Reform Council will be composed of representatives elected in the next parliamentary polls, who will concurrently serve as members of parliament. The council must complete its reform work within 180 working days of its first session, and within 30 working days of its completion, the Upper House will be constituted accordingly. The Upper House will continue to function until the final working day of the Lower House.
