Zia back, pressure up on Yunus to hold polls in ‘quickest possible’ time

BNP leader Khaleda Zia returned to Dhaka after four months of treatment in London, energizing the opposition’s demand for early elections. Her return heightens pressure on the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, which prioritizes reforms first. Meanwhile, the student-led National Citizen Party (NCP) supports delaying elections, citing concerns over a pro-BNP bureaucracy and seeking systemic reforms.
