Bangladesh's interim government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus announced Thursday that the country will hold a national referendum on the 'July Charter' for state reform alongside national elections in February 2026. The charter, containing over 80 reforms, was drafted following discussions with various political parties. The Council of Advisers approved holding both votes simultaneously on the same day. Supporters view the charter as a foundational framework for institutional reform in Bangladesh. This significant decision marks a crucial step in the nation's political transition, allowing citizens to vote on comprehensive state reforms while simultaneously electing their national government. The dual-voting approach aims to streamline the democratic process and expedite reform implementation. (PC: NDTV)
