In a landmark speech, interim leader Muhammad Yunus declared that the nation must expect patience regarding elections, emphasizing the necessity for crucial electoral and constitutional reforms. He reassured citizens that elections would proceed post-reforms, stating, 'I promise that we will hold the much-anticipated election once the necessary and essential reforms are complete.' This underscores the transitional government’s commitment to establishing a lasting electoral framework amidst significant political upheaval.
Yunus highlighted the urgency of establishing a new election commission, noting, 'An election commission will be formed within a few days,' yet he clarified that a specific timeline for the elections remains uncertain. He appealed for understanding from the citizens, pledging, 'I request your patience until then. We aim to build an electoral system that will endure for decades.' His statements reflect the pivotal role of reforms in restoring democratic integrity.
Reflecting on the protests leading to his appointment, Yunus recalled the tragic toll, stating, 'About 1,500 people were killed in the weeks of protests that brought change.' His acknowledgment of this violence emphasizes the turmoil preceding his leadership, as well as the importance of transitioning toward a stable democratic process. His tenure comes amid demands for accountability and systemic change following years of autocratic rule.
