Bangladesh Opposition Warns of Unrest If Elections Delayed Beyond December

News summary

Bangladesh's main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has warned of potential instability and public discontent if elections are delayed beyond December. This warning follows remarks from de facto Prime Minister Muhammad Yunus, who suggested that elections could be postponed until between December 2025 and June 2026, citing the need for reforms to ensure fair electoral processes. The BNP, along with some Western nations, has accused the previous government of widespread electoral fraud, a claim that Yunus has denied. Abdul Moyeen Khan, a senior BNP member, emphasized the urgency of scheduling elections, stating that any further delay could intensify public resentment and unrest. He is currently in Washington, D.C., seeking discussions with U.S. officials on the matter. The BNP is advocating for an immediate return to democratic governance, arguing that December is a widely accepted timeframe for elections.
