Bangladesh ’s interim leader announced 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.

Bangladesh will hold national elections in February as the interim government comes under pressure to restore political stability following former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s shock ouster last year.

The anniversary culminated with Yunus, the 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate presiding over Bangladesh’s democratic overhaul, announcing that he would write to the chief election commissioner requesting that national elections be arranged before Ramadan in February.
