About

Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, recently served as the leader of Bangladesh's interim government. This caretaker role followed a student-led uprising in 2024 that ousted Sheikh Hasina. He oversaw a period of transition and reforms aimed at improving accountability and safeguarding democracy. Yunus's leadership concluded in February 2026, following parliamentary elections that resulted in a landslide victory for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). He has since stepped down, paving the way for Tarique Rahman, the BNP leader, to be sworn in as the new Prime Minister. Yunus congratulated Rahman on his party's victory, marking the end of his interim leadership and the beginning of a new political era for Bangladesh.
