Bangladesh Election Yunus Statement: Today, 12 February 2026, is being seen as a turning point in Bangladesh. Voting is taking place in the country for the first time in general elections in August 2024 after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government and a large-scale coup. On this historic occasion, the head of the country’s interim government and Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus has put a full stop to all the ongoing speculations regarding the future of power.

‘Waiting for the auspicious moment to hand over power’

In his address to the nation before voting began, Mohammad Yunus made it clear that his government’s aim was only to conduct a fair election. He said that we will hand over the responsibility of the country to the newly elected government with full happiness and pride and will return to our respective works. He further said that he is eagerly waiting for the auspicious moment when a democratically elected government will take over the reins of the country.

Strong attack on rumors and propaganda

Mohammad Yunus termed all those discussions as ‘baseless propaganda’ In which it was being claimed that the interim government could retain power. He stressed that there come moments in the life of every nation when the direction of the state and the fate of future generations are decided. He appealed to the voters to come out of their homes without any fear and take part in the voting process. Along with this, he warned the political parties that any attempt to forcibly capture polling stations or create unrest will not be tolerated at all.

Voting amid violence and rigging

According to the Dhaka polling body report, irregularities have been recorded at at least 140 polling stations so far. Election Commission sources said that violent clashes and fighting took place at 43 centres, while at 4 centers polling agents were intimidated and thrown out.
