Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus has assured that the national election scheduled for February 26 will be held in a festive atmosphere. However, he warned that groups opposed to the interim government will attempt to obstruct the process.

“Some signs of this are already visible. We must remain vigilant,” Yunus told reporters, according to his press secretary.

He pledged a better voting experience for all citizens—especially those who were previously deprived of their rights or faced intimidation. He also stressed the need to safeguard the election from foreign interference.

Yunus added that ensuring a peaceful environment during Durga Puja celebrations was a collective responsibility, warning that some groups may attempt to incite unrest.

Earlier, he held meetings with seven political parties and Hefazat-e-Islam.
