Bangladesh's Yunus says will step down after polls


LONDON: Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus (pic) said Wednesday (June 11) that there was "no way" he wanted to continue in power after elections he has announced for April, the first since a mass uprising overthrew the government.

The South Asian nation of around 170 million people has been in political turmoil since a student-led revolt ousted then prime minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024, ending her 15-year rule.
