Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Muhammad Yunus on Sunday primarily announced the name of his political party as Nagorik Shakti (citizens’ power), saying the organization would contest the next parliamentary election.
The father of micro-credit, who in an open letter earlier this month sought people’s opinions on his joining politics, said he had finally decided to enter the new realm.
Yunus said his party would be formally launched soon.
He indicated that his proposed party might field candidates for all 300 constituencies in next parliamentary elections.
