Muhammad Yunus, who leads the interim government in Bangladesh, has no immediate plans to resign, a senior official said on Friday during the political unrest. The news was released to discuss Muhammad Yunus’s plan to step down after differences among political parties emerged.
Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, who is both a minister in the cabinet and special assistant to Yunus, publicly denied the rumours in an online message. The chief adviser will not be resigning. He refuses to be drawn toward power, wrote Taiyeb on Facebook. “It is for Bangladesh’s safety and peaceful democratic process that Professor Yunus needs to be kept in office.”
Yunus took over as interim leader after a mass uprising last year, but now he is under pressure from both political groups, with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chiefly demanding that the date of the next general election be fixed.
Thousands of BNP supporters took to the streets of Dhaka on Thursday to push for a quick announcement of the election calendar. The protests were an element of an ongoing political trouble in the country, with people from different parties taking part in counter-protests and sending demands for reforms.
While Yunus has said elections will take place by June 2026, BNP leaders believe this is too vague and want them to be held earlier. He kept saying that Yunus’s authority is crucial for maintaining calm as they make the change to democracy.
Many political analysts see that being globally recognised and neutral makes Yunus a uniting factor now. The government, for now, is following its plan, even as both protests and pressure from opposition parties grow.
