Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh's interim leader, told Nikkei that the previous regime led by ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina "destroyed everything."
He pledged to hold general elections only after ushering in constitutional and judicial reforms, including an electoral overhaul, reports The Nikkei.
"We need comprehensive reforms in the economy, governance, bureaucracy and judiciary [before holding elections]," Yunus, the 84-year-old Nobel laureate and microcredit pioneer, said in an exclusive interview on Saturday.
