Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus has said that a charter will be prepared based on unanimous consensus, reform recommendations will be implemented, and then the election process will follow.
He indicated that the election could take place in December this year.
He made the comments during a plenary session with British journalist Becky Anderson at the World Government Summit on Thursday.
Dr Yunus said: "Our first responsibility is to restore law and order. Then, we need to rebuild Bangladesh, its society, and its institutions. To achieve this, we have undertaken a reform process.”
He added: “We have formed 15 different reform commissions, which have already provided their recommendations. Now, we will discuss these recommendations with political parties."
He further said: "When my work is done, I will hand over power to the elected government. I will return to the work I love the most."
Describing the country's situation, the chief adviser said: "Everything has been shattered, and we need to put the pieces back together. For example, our banking system was completely destroyed.”
He added: “Sixteen billion dollars were stolen from banks, and $17 billion are smuggled out of Bangladesh every year. The economy collapsed, reserves were declining, and we had to rebuild everything."
When asked whether India had responded regarding Sheikh Hasina’s repatriation, he said: "The UN Office of Human Rights has published its report. Killings, disappearances, torture—everything has been recorded, including how students were shot dead on the orders of the former prime minister.”
The chief adviser said: “Now, everything is on record, so we do not need to explain to anyone what has happened. We will work on the UN’s recommendations to ensure these incidents are not repeated. We have received massive support from the global community. Everyone has assured us of their assistance.
“They want to work with us to build a new Bangladesh. The entire country has been destroyed and billions of dollars have been siphoned off. We are trying to recover them, but the process is very complex."
