    Thirty-one members of Hasina's new Cabinet are first-timers. The Cabinet exclusively consists of members of the Awami League.

    On Thursday, she was chosen as the leader of the House for the fourth time.

    Hasina, the daughter of Bangladesh's founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is termed by many as the country's iron lady.
