Bangladesh has delivered a decisive verdict, with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) sweeping the parliamentary election and positioning Tarique Rahman to become the next prime minister. For Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who stepped in as chief adviser of the interim government after the 2024 uprising that toppled Sheikh Hasina, the vote marks the culmination of a turbulent transition.
Yunus has consistently maintained that he is a caretaker, not a political contender. As the country prepares for a new elected government, questions now turn to what lies ahead for the man who steadied Bangladesh through one of the most volatile phases in its history.
