Bangladesh's interim government head, Muhammad Yunus, announced that the next parliamentary elections could take place between late 2025 and mid-2026. This statement comes amid growing pressure from Khaleda Zia’s BNP, which has been demanding an earlier election date. Yunus shared this timeline during a speech on Victory Day, citing the need for reforms. BNP leaders, including acting chairman Tarique Rahman, criticized the delay, accusing influential groups of conspiring to undermine their electoral prospects. Differing views within the interim government on election timing have further fueled debate, with the public demanding clarity on the election roadmap.
