Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said the next parliamentary elections will be held in February 2026.
“On behalf of the interim government, I will send a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner asking the Election Commission to arrange the national elections in February 2026, before the next Ramadan,” he said.
The Chief Adviser made the remarks while delivering his televised address before the nation marking the July Uprising Day.
The Chief Adviser sought prayers from all so that all the citizens of this country can successfully move forward in building a ‘New Bangladesh’ by holding the polls in a festive mood.
“We, on behalf of the government, will provide all kinds of support and cooperation so that the election can be conducted in a fair, peaceful and festive manner,” he added.
Prof. Yunus asked all to start making mental preparations and institutional arrangements from tomorrow to complete all the arrangements so that this election can make memorable in the country’s history in terms of joy and celebration, peace and order, voters turnout, and cordiality.
“I would like to say a few words about the voters in the polls. This time, we want to ensure arrangements for expatriate voters so that they can vote,” he said.
He said the major reason why Bangladesh, which was completely devastated economically, has been able to turn around so quickly is the historic contribution of the remittance fighters.বিস্তারত
