Bangladesh army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said Wednesday that a new interim government was likely to be sworn in on Thursday evening after Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus returned to the country.
“We are trying our best to hold the oath-taking ceremony tomorrow,” the general said in a televised briefing. “We might do it at around 8:00 pm (1400 GMT). Around 400 hundred people will likely be present.” Nobel-winner Muhammad Yunus will lead Bangladesh through a “democratic process” when he arrives in the country to helm an interim government, army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman said Wednesday.
“He is very eager to do this,” the general said in a televised address to the nation. “I am certain that he will be able to take us through a beautiful democratic process and that we will benefit from this.”
