Bangladesh To Hold National Elections In April 2026 Amid Crisis, Yunus Bows To Mounting Pressure

Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus has announced that national elections will be held in April 2026, following sustained domestic unrest and international pressure.

The move comes after the dramatic ousting of long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year, sparking political uncertainty and protests.

As Bangladesh navigates its volatile transition, Yunus said the Election Commission will soon unveil a detailed roadmap.

The announcement marks a crucial turning point in the country’s democratic journey and raises questions about stability, legitimacy, and the future political landscape.

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has officially been charged with crimes against humanity for her alleged role in the brutal crackdown on student protesters during the 2024 uprising.
