General election is held in Bangladesh in April 2026: Mohammad Yunus

Dhaka, June 6 (IANS). Mohammad Yunus, the chief adviser of the interim government of Bangladesh, said on Friday that the general election in the country was held in April (2026) in April (2026). Mohammad Yunus, chief adviser of the interim government of Bangladesh, said in a television address of the country on the eve of Eid-Ex-Azha: “I want to tell the countrymen that the next national election will be held in the first half of April 2026.” He said that the Electoral Commission will submit a detailed roadmap of the election at the right time. During his speech, Younus has also underlined the ‘achievements’ of the interim government over the past ten months and emphasizes that the government is working on the three -point agenda of justice, reform and election. Yunus said: “We want more and more voters, candidates and parties to participate in the next election.

Salahuddin Ahmed, a member of the Standing Committee of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), said earlier this week that it is entirely possible to hold national elections in the country before December, as it may take less than a month to meet the necessary reforms on consensus base. The local media in a discussion organized by the Gono Rights Council on Tuesday quoted Salahuddin and said: “It is possible to hold elections before December. If the proposals related to constitutional amendments are accepted by national consent, except for proposals related to constitutional amendments, it may be implemented within less than a month.” Salahuddin reiterated that he had not yet received any valid argument to postpone the election after December. He said: “We are in favor of the early election to establish democracy and the voting rights of the people. There is not a single reason that is appropriate to hold after December elections.” BNP is confident that he gets a majority in elections, while Younus, who currently ends up in the strong streams of chaotic, violent, unstable politics of the country, first insists on implementing the democratic reforms and postponing the election by June 2026. Rehman, while addressing a rally of BNP virtually BNP from London, said: ‘Historically, the caretakers in Bangladesh showed that national elections could be held and executed within three months, but even after ten months of his term of office, the interim administration did not announced the election date.
