DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh’s Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus will head the country’s interim government after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina stepped down and fled the country amid a mass uprising against her rule led mostly by students.

The announcement early on Wednesday came from Joynal Abedin, the press secretary of President Mohammed Shahabuddin. Abedin spoke to The Associated Press over the phone.

Abedin also said that the other members of the Yunus-led government would be decided soon after discussion with political parties and other stakeholders.
