Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has commended Election Commission (EC) for announcing the schedule for the 13th parliamentary election and the July Charter referendum.
In a statement, Yunus said the announcement represents a significant milestone in Bangladesh’s democratic journey.
“Following the historic mass uprising, the country is advancing on a new path. This election and referendum will solidify that trajectory, prioritise the voice of the people, and further consolidate the foundation of a new Bangladesh,” he said.
Yunus expressed confidence that Election Commission would perform its constitutional duties independently, impartially, and with the highest professionalism.
He noted that the interim government would provide all necessary support to ensure the election and referendum are conducted smoothly, fairly, and in a festive, participatory manner.
Addressing political parties, candidates, the media, civil society, and the public, he urged everyone to approach the elections and referendum as a national endeavor for unity.
“Respect for dissenting views, a peaceful environment, and democratic conduct will ensure greater stability in the coming days,” he said.
Yunus concluded, “Bangladesh stands at the threshold of a new future. With active participation and responsible conduct from all, I am confident we will succeed in building a modern, just, and prosperous nation.”
