Ex-PM to go to Bangladesh for the elections, son says
The Independent|August 10, 2024
Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina will return to the country after the interim government announces fresh elections, her son said. Ms Hasina, 76, fled to India, ending her 15-year-long rule, after millions of people poured onto the streets of Dhaka and marched toward her official residence, demanding her resignation.

Ex-PM to go to Bangladesh for the elections, son says

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the US-based son of Ms Hasina, said his mother was in India but would return “to Bangladesh the moment the interim government decides to hold an election”.

“My mother would have retired from politics after the current term,” Mr Joy told the Times of India.

The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party has called for a fresh general election in three months. “I never had any political ambition and was settled in the US. But the developments in the Bangladesh in the past few days show that there is a leadership vacuum. I had to get active for the sake of the party and I am at the forefront now,” Mr Joy said.
