Professor Muhammad Yunus, globally renowned as the "Father of Microfinance" and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, currently serves as the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's Interim Government system implemented since August 8, 2024. His appointment, a historic milestone for the nation, took place in the aftermath of the July 2024 mass uprising, a movement driven by the people's demand for justice, transparency, and democratic governance.

The appointment of Professor Yunus as Chief Adviser followed a period of political instability and public discontent under the regime of the former Prime Minister. As the country faced widespread protests, corruption allegations, and growing calls for accountability, the July mass uprising became a turning point. This movement led to the ousting of the previous government and created the need for an interim leadership capable of fostering national unity, rebuilding trust, and steering the country towards democratic reforms.

Professor Yunus was chosen for his impeccable global reputation, lifelong dedication to poverty alleviation, and his ability to unify diverse groups. His leadership is seen as a beacon of hope in re-establishing fairness, inclusion, and accountability in Bangladesh’s governance.

Professor Yunus envisions a Bangladesh that is equitable, democratic, and prosperous, driven by the collective power of its people. His leadership reflects a belief in “People’s power over government power,” inspiring citizens to actively participate in nation-building rather than relying solely on the state.

Professor Muhammad Yunus, as the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh, embodies a rare combination of visionary leadership and grassroots connection. His commitment to the values of democracy, justice, and empowerment not only addresses the challenges of today but lays a foundation for a better tomorrow.
