Reform and election preparation will continue: Chief Adviser

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said that the interim government’s aim is to ensure political stability. Reform activities and election preparations will continue simultaneously.

The adviser said this at a national dialogue arranged by Forum for Bangladesh Studies at the Krishibid Institute auditorium in the capital on Friday (December 27).

He said that to make the task of reforms easier for citizens, we have formed 15 reform commissions. We will receive their reports in January.

Prof Yunus said: "All the commissions will place many recommendations to us. We have now reached a stage that whatever anyone’s opinion, we want to accomplish the reform works by quickly establishing a consensus."

"To give their (youth) opinion on their own future, I think the voting age for them should be fixed at 17 years," he said.
