Bangladesh’s interim government chief, Muhammad Yunus, indicated elections may be held by year-end. In an interview with Japan’s NHK, he said the new government would have a "secure and strong foundation" to rebuild the nation. Sheikh Hasina was ousted in August 2024 following mass protests, leading to the formation of the interim government. The opposition BNP demands an election date, while Jamaat-e-Islami urges more time for Yunus. BNP leader Tarique Rahman warned, “Election must happen on time, no alternative exists.” The political divide intensifies as Bangladesh awaits an official announcement.
