A recent survey conducted by North South University's South Asian Institute of Policy and Governance (SIPG) indicated that some 53 per cent of voters in Bangladesh believe the current interim government's tenure should be two years or less.
At least 96 per cent supported limiting the Prime Minister's tenure.
However, participants expressed satisfaction with the interim government's current performance, particularly praising their flood management efforts in August and September.
The survey was conducted from September 9 to 29, covering 1,869 respondents across 17 districts in eight divisions of the country.
Findings of the survey were revealed on Wednesday at Jatiya Press Club under the title "National Survey 2024: Citizens' Expectations from the Interim Government."
Among the respondents, 63 per cent were aged between 28 and 50 years, 22 per cent between 18 to 27 and 14 per cent above 50.
Some 54 per cent of the respondents lived in urban areas, while 46 per cent resided in rural regions.
The results highlighted that at least 53 per cent of respondents believe the current interim government should have a tenure of two years or less, while 47 per cent of voters feel the government should remain in power for three years or more.
Some 46 per cent of respondents expressed uncertainty about their involvement with political parties, whereas 54 per cent showed interest in mainstream politics.
According to the findings of the survey, 46 per cent of citizens believe significant changes are needed in the constitution, with 35 per cent advocating for minor reforms, and 16 per cent supporting the creation of an entirely new constitution.
