COX’S BAZAR : Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Monday said the country has reached a ‘stable enough’ position and is ready to have the national election in the first half of February next year.
“We announced the election in the first half of February 2026...the interim government will be replaced by an elected government,” he said at the beginning of his speech at the ‘Stakeholders’ Dialogue’ in the beach town of Cox’s Bazar.
Prof Yunus said he has come here at a very important moment in their political history.
One year back, he said, they had gone through a killing spree and followed by the students-led uprising to free the country from the fascist regime.
“Now, we are ready for another transition in our political history. We have announced the time for the election. It’s just about a year back, we had the uprising and the country has come to this stable enough and ready to have the election,” Prof Yunus said amid the presence of representatives of the international community.
Representatives from governments, UN agencies and international organisations were present.
