Yunus Seeks Early Bangladesh Polls: Ramadan Deadline Set
Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser’s Office has formally petitioned the Election Commission. The request seeks to hold the next National Parliament elections before Ramadan in February 2026.
The plea emphasizes the need for a free, fair, peaceful, and celebratory electoral process. This aligns with Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’s recent national address, where he pledged full government support for the elections.
The request, submitted on August 6, 2025, highlights the importance of timely elections for maintaining political stability. The timing, ahead of Ramadan, is seen as crucial for ensuring broad participation.
This development carries significant weight given the ongoing political climate in Bangladesh. The timely conduct of elections is vital for upholding democratic norms and ensuring a smooth transition of power. The nation awaits the Election Commission’s response and the subsequent steps to ensure a credible electoral process.
