History
editBefore 1990, it was the official residence of the Vice-President of Bangladesh.
In 2009 after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was elected, she moved to Jamuna State Guest House as the residence officially allotted to her as part of a security law for Father of the Nation's family members,[4] the Ganabhaban, was being renovated.[5] She moved from her private residence to the guest house on the advice of intelligence agencies who were concerned over her security.[6]
Following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina in the non-cooperation movement on 5 August, the Jamuna State Guest House serves as the official residence of Muhammad Yunus after he was appointed as the Chief Adviser of the interim government.[7]
