Bangladesh’s interim leader, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, said Tuesday that the country’s parliamentary election would be held in February. In a televised address to the nation, Yunus said he would request the Election Commission to organize the election in February 2025.

The anniversary culminated with Yunus, the 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate presiding over Bangladesh’s democratic overhaul, announcing that he would write to the chief election commissioner requesting that national elections be arranged before Ramadan in February.

The announcement of the parliamentary election comes a year after the uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
