A shadow cabinet is typically formed by opposition parties to monitor government performance, propose alternative policies, and hold ministers accountable.

The announcement comes a day after senior Supreme Court lawyer and Jamaat-e-Islami–nominated candidate for the Sunamganj-2 (Dirai-Shalla) constituency, Mohammad Shishir Monir, also proposed forming a shadow cabinet. 

In a social media post on Saturday night, he said, “We will form a shadow cabinet, InshaAllah.”

The move signals growing political activity among opposition and emerging parties as they seek to strengthen oversight and present alternative governance frameworks. 

Political analysts say forming a shadow cabinet could help opposition parties organise policy positions and increase public engagement.
