Muhammad Yunus will continue as the head of Bangladesh’s interim government, according to an adviser who mentioned they are overcoming obstacles in their work.
Yunus expressed a desire to resign due to challenges in working amid lack of common ground for change, but has decided to stay after discussions with colleagues.
A meeting was called by Yunus, where discussions focused on elections, reform agenda, and the belated July Proclamation.
NCP convenor urged Yunus to stay strong for the country's sake, while analysts viewed the resignation threat as a test of public support.
Yunus is expected to meet leaders of BNP and Jamaat to discuss the evolving political situation.
The interim government is not only focused on holding elections but also on implementing reforms and ensuring justice, mentioned a key adviser.
There were reports of discord between the military and interim government over election timelines and a policy issue related to Bangladesh’s security affairs.
The military emphasized election by December, and troops intensified security measures against mob justice.
Yunus's administration disbanded Hasina's Awami League and faced demands from political parties to announce a date for the next elections.
Bangladesh has been experiencing political turmoil since the past regime's ouster, with competing demands leading to protests in the capital.
