Bangladesh has officially transitioned leadership as interim President Mohammed Yunus has announced his resignation, marking the end of his tenure and transferring power to the newly elected government. Addressing the nation in a farewell speech, the 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate expressed his gratitude to the people of Bangladesh and highlighted the importance of democracy, freedom of expression, and fundamental rights.
Yunus, who had self-imposed exile in 2024 but returned to the country, has been instrumental in Bangladesh’s transition to democracy.

Addressing the nation, Yunus stated that the people, voters, political parties, and electoral institutions have set a commendable example, establishing a standard for future elections.
