Key Paragraph from Last set of GCM results4 Feb 2026 14:15
In the aftermath, an Interim Government under the leadership of Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus was installed with the twin mandates of restoring stability and laying the groundwork for credible democratic elections. This administration has pursued institutional reform, re-establishment of rule of law, and re-evaluation of national economic priorities, including the future of domestic energy and resource development. The Coal Development Forum convened by the Interim Government on 27 February 2025 was a key milestone, reaching a clear consensus that Bangladesh must utilise its own coal resources to secure affordable and sustainable energy supply. The Forum recognised GCM's proposed Phulbari Coal and Power Project as the most advanced and immediately implementable opportunity to achieve this objective.
