Claims restoring democratic institutions is necessary
Yunus: B'desh polls in 2025-end or early '26

DHAKA BANGLADESH's interim leader Muhammad Yunus said on Monday that general elections would be held late next year or in early 2026.

Pressure has been growing on Yunus to set a date.

The 84-year-old microfinance pioneer is leading a temporary administration to tackle what he has called the "extremely tough" challenge of restoring democratic institutions in the country.

"Election dates could be fixed by the end of 2025 or the first half of 2026," he said in a broadcast on state television.
