Supporters of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party rallied on Tuesday to demand a new election.
Thousands of activists and leaders of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party rallied on Tuesday in the nation's capital to demand a democratic transition through an election as an interim government has yet to outline a timeframe for new voting.
The supporters gathered in front of BNP headquarters in Dhaka, where they chanted slogans demanding a new election.
The interim government headed by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has rolled out a number of plans to reform various sectors of the country, from the Election Commission to financial institutions.
But major political parties including the BNP, headed by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, want the new election sometime soon.
Yunus took the helm after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country during a mass uprising last month, ending a 15-year stint in power.
