Bangladesh to hold elections in late 2025 or early 2026: Yunus

The Hindu  

Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus, who heads the caretaker government installed after an August revolution, said Monday that general elections would be held late next year or in early 2026. Pressure has been growing on Nobel Peace Prize winner Mr. Yunus — appointed the country's "chief adviser" after the student-led uprising that toppled ex-premier Sheikh Hasina in August — to set a date. Mr. Yunus has launched commissions to oversee a raft of reforms he says are needed, and setting an election date depends on what political parties agree. "If the political parties agree to hold the election on an earlier date with minimum reforms, such as having a flawless voter list, the election could be held by the end of November," he added.
