Bangladesh to hold elections in April 2026
Bangladesh's national elections will be held in the first half of April 2026, the country's de facto prime minister, Muhammad Yunus, said on Friday. "The Election Commission will provide you with a detailed roadmap for the elections at an appropriate time," said Nobel peace laureate Yunus. He made the announcement during a televised address to the nation on the eve of Eidul Azha. 'Based on this announcement, the Election Commission will provide a detailed roadmap for the elections at an appropriate time,' he said. 'I have repeatedly said that this election will be held between December and June next year. The government is doing whatever is necessary to create an environment conducive to elections in the country during this period,' he said. Yunus said, "I know that there is great interest among political parties and the public to know when the next national election will be held. It is important to remember here that as long as the country has plunged into deep crises since independence was due to flawed elections. Through repeated accumulation of power through a flawed election, a political party turned into a barbaric fascist." The chief adviser said those who organised those elections were identified as criminals by the nation. The party that came to power through such elections was also hated by the people, he added. A major responsibility of this government is to hold an election in a clean, festive, peaceful, and massively participated atmosphere so that the country does not fall into a new crisis in the future, said the chief adviser. For this, institutional reform is the most important, he said, adding, If good governance cannot be ensured in the institutions involved with the election process, all the sacrifices of the students and the public will go in vain. "We took responsibility on the basis of these three mandates: reform, justice and elections. In that regard, I believe that we will be able to reach an acceptable position in terms of reform and justice by the next Eidul Fitr." He said, particularly with regard to the trial of crimes against humanity, which is our collective responsibility towards the martyrs of the July mass uprising, we will be able to see visible progress,' he said. 'We will be able to implement the mandate you have entrusted with us, even if it is minimal. In this regard, we have discussed with all parties to organise the freest, fairest, competitive and acceptable elections in history,' he said. 'We want elections that will satisfy the souls of the martyrs of the uprising and bring peace to their souls. We want the largest number of voters, candidates and parties to participate in the next elections.

'I got that war stopped': Trump on Pakistan-India ceasefire
US President Donald Trump speaks during a swearing-in ceremony for the new US ambassador to China, former US Senator David Perdue, at the White House in Washington, DC, US on May 7, 2025. Photo: REUTERS Listen to article US President Donald Trump said he successfully brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan last month, citing the threat of nuclear escalation as the primary motivator. The ceasefire, reached on May 10, halted the worst military confrontation between the two nuclear-armed nations in decades. The conflict, which saw both sides using fighter jets, drones, missiles, and artillery, led to around 70 casualties. Tensions had been escalating following an attack on April 22 in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists. India subsequently launched airstrikes on Pakistani cities on May 7, accusing Pakistan of being behind the attack, an allegation Islamabad denied, responding with strikes on Indian military targets. Speaking from the White House on Thursday, where he was hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump revealed the role he played in facilitating the ceasefire. He said, 'I spoke to some very talented people on both sides ... and I said, you know, we're dealing with you on trade, Pakistan and India right now. I said we're not going to deal with you on trade if you're going to go shooting each other and whipping out nuclear weapons that maybe even affect us.' Trump emphasised the threat posed by nuclear conflict, noting, 'Because you know that nuclear dust blows across oceans very quickly, it affects us.' The US president said that his warning about trade deals helped bring an end to the hostilities. 'I got that war stopped,' he said, crediting the leadership on both sides for backing off from military confrontation. Since the ceasefire, Pakistan has continued to express gratitude for Trump's mediation efforts, while India has rejected the notion that it was influenced by US pressure.
