Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said that the progress made by the country’s political parties towards consensus through the National Consensus Commission will be a unique example not only for Bangladesh but also for the entire world. He made it clear that the national election will be held next February and it will be a ‘festival of the nation’s rebirth.’
He made this statement at the ongoing dialogue of the National Consensus Commission with political parties at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Sunday (September 14, 2025).
