Bangladesh Elections Late 2025–Early 2026

• Chief Adviser of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus, predicts Bangladesh’s national elections could occur between late 2025 and early 2026.

• The election schedule will be determined by the extent of reforms to be implemented.

• Yunus stated that if political consensus requires only a few key reforms and a flawless voter list, elections could take place by late 2025.

• If additional reforms are recommended by the Electoral Reforms Commission and supported by national consensus, it may require an additional six months.
