Chief Adviser to the interim government Prof Muhammad Yunus has said that the tenure of the interim government will be less than four years.

"While the exact timeframe for the interim government‍‍`s tenure has not been determined, it should be under four years that‍‍`s for sure, it may be less," he said while speaking in an interview with Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera.

"It‍‍`s all about what the people want, the political parties want, if political parties say forget about it

give the election, we will do it," he said.

Asked about staying in power for four years would be same to serving a full electoral term, Yunus responded, "I didn‍‍`t say that I will be

for four years. This is the maximum term. But that‍‍`s not our intention, our intention is to get it done as quickly as possible."

When asked if he plans to stand for election, Yunus said, "I am not a politician. I enjoy my role, what I am doing."
