Bangladesh’s interim leader announced on Tuesday that the parliamentary election will be in February, as the country marked a year since a student-led uprising led to the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.Muhammad Yunus spoke in a televised address and said he would request that the Election Commission organise the election before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.That will begin on February 17 or 18, depending on when the new crescent moon is sighted there.Earlier on Tuesday, Yunus marked the uprising’s anniversary by saying its spirit would build the future of the South Asian nation’s democracy.But the event was held amid growing frustration over the interim administration’s failure to restore order and bring political bickering under control.People hold Bangladesh’s national flag as they celebrate during a government-organised event in Dhaka on Tuesday.
