Bangladesh Announces 2026 Elections After Coup

Bangladesh is planning a new election.

The country has been run by an interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, since the old government was removed in August 2024.

He has repeatedly said he would hold elections, but kept changing his mind.

Now, he says the new elections will be held before the start of Ramzan in 2026.

This is the first time the country will have an election since then.

However, the article raises the possibility that the elections may be postponed again.
