Muhammad Yunus Casts Vote in Bangladesh's Pivotal Election, Heralding 'New Bangladesh'

• Interim Government Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus voted in Dhaka, calling it a turning point for Bangladesh.
• Yunus stated, "From today, we have the opportunity to create a new Bangladesh at every level," urging participation in both elections and a crucial referendum.
• He inherited a "completely broken down" system after Sheikh Hasina's ouster and has pushed for a reform charter.
• The proposed charter includes term limits for prime ministers, an upper house, stronger presidential powers, and judicial independence.
• Voters are participating in a referendum on the charter, which requires a simple majority and parliamentary ratification if approved.
