The Foreign and Home Ministries went, for the first time, to women legislators. Hasina named senior Supreme Court lawyer Sahara Khatun to head the Home (interior) Ministry and the leader of her Awami League women's front, Dipu Moni, to head foreign affairs.
Hasina, winner of last month's parliamentary election, was sworn in as prime minister for a second five-year term on Tuesday by President Iajuddin Ahmed, ending two years of rule by an army-backed interim government. Iajuddin also administered the oath to Hasina's ministers, hours before she allocated them ministries.
