Amidst the ongoing turmoil in neighboring Bangladesh, the interim government has suffered a major setback. Khuda Baksh Chowdhury, the special assistant to the Home Ministry, which is headed by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, has resigned from his post, and President Mohammed Shahabuddin has accepted his resignation.

Khuda Baksh Chowdhury, a former Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Bangladesh, was appointed as Muhammad Yunus’s special assistant on November 10, 2024. His resignation comes at a time when the situation in the country is rapidly deteriorating following the death of rebel leader Usman Hadi.

Meanwhile, Tarique Rahman, the son of the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, has returned to the country. Before Rahman’s return, a bomb attack near a church in the capital Dhaka on Wednesday (December 24) killed one person. This incident has raised serious security concerns in the capital. Violence has intensified in Bangladesh since the death of student leader Usman Hadi. Mobs also set fire to the offices of two leading newspapers in the country, the Daily Star and Prothom Alo.

When will elections be held in Bangladesh?
This turmoil in Bangladesh is occurring less than two months before the country’s national elections. General elections are scheduled for February 12, 2026. These elections will be the first national elections since the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government in July 2024. Khuda Baksh Chowdhury’s resignation is the fourth major resignation from Yunus’s interim government.

Tarique Rahman returns to his country
Tarique Rahman, the son of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, returned to his country today (December 25) after 17 years. One lakh workers of his Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gathered near the airport to welcome him. Rahman had fled to London in 2008 to avoid arrest. At that time, several corruption cases were pending against him under the Hasina government. Awami League banned in Bangladesh:
The Yunus government has banned Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party. This significantly increases the chances of the BNP winning the election. BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is 80 years old and in poor health. Tarique Rahman is considered a likely candidate for the next Prime Minister.
