Nobel Laureate Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus left Paris for Dhaka on Wednesday evening (Bangladesh local time).

An Emirates flight (EK-582) from Dubai landed at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in the capital with Dr Yunus at about 2pm on Thursday.

Prof Yunus, who will lead the interim government, is scheduled to take oath at 8pm on Thursday.

He told reporters in Paris: "I’m looking forward to going back home and seeing what’s happening there, and how we can organize ourselves to get out of the trouble that we are in."

Asked when elections would be held, he put his hands up as if to indicate it was too early to say.

"I’ll go and talk to them. I’m just fresh in this whole area," Prof Yunus added.
