Chief Adviser of the interim government Professor Muhammad Yunus has congratulated Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairman Tarique Rahman on his party’s landslide victory in the 13th Parliamentary Election.
In the congratulatory message addressed to Tarique, the chief adviser said, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to you for the overwhelming majority secured by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party under your leadership in the 13th Jatiya Sangsad election."

Yunus believes that by discharging the grave responsibility of governing the state, the country can be led towards a stable, inclusive, and development-oriented path through wisdom, democratic values, and a commitment to public welfare.
"I recall the ideals and state philosophy of your father, [former] president Ziaur Rahman, and the uncompromising leadership and commitment to democracy of your mother, former prime minister Khaleda Zia. I sincerely hope that their ideals and great works will illuminate your path in the days ahead,” he said.
The chief adviser said, “Bangladesh today stands at the threshold of new possibilities in the global arena. In the areas of economic transformation, technological advancement, climate resilience, human resource development, and active participation in regional and international diplomacy, the application of coordinated intellect, thoughtfulness and wisdom is essential."
The chief adviser hopes that, under his leadership, national unity will be strengthened and democratic values, the rule of law, and accountable governance will be further reinforced.
“At the same time, I express my sincere thanks for your valuable cooperation and constructive role during the tenure of the interim government. In this sensitive time of transition, your positive stance in maintaining a democratic environment, demonstrating tolerance and showing respect for the constitutional process has played an important role in the national interest.”
“In conclusion, I wish every success to your initiatives aimed at the welfare of the people, the establishment of justice and the building of a prosperous Bangladesh. May almighty Allah grant you wisdom, patience and steadfastness in serving the country and the nation,” the chief adviser added.
