Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: Amid the growing expectation for an election roadmap, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Monday said the next national election can be arranged at a time between the end of 2025 and first half of 2026.
"Broadly speaking, the election can be scheduled between the end of 2025 and the first half of 2026," he said in a televised speech to the nation in the morning.
Dr Yunus said he has repeatedly appealed to all to hold the polls after completing all the major reforms.
"However, if, and I repeat, “if”, due to political consensus, we have to hold the election on the basis of a flawless preparation of the voter list with minor reforms, then it may be possible to hold the elections by the end of 2025," he said.
"And if we add to this the expected level of reforms in the electoral process and in light of the recommendations of the Election Reforms Commission and based on the national consensus, then it may take at least another six months," said the Chief Adviser.
