Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus is set to hold talks with three major political parties -- the BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the National Citizen Party -- today to discuss the current political situation and the upcoming general election.
The head of the interim government will meet with each party separately, starting with the BNP at 3pm, followed by Jamaat at 4:30pm, and NCP at 6pm, according to his press aide Shafiqul Alam.
Alam said the decision was made at a high-level meeting chaired by Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna on Saturday. Senior officials, including the national security advisor and the special assistant on home affairs, attended the meeting.
A statement from the Chief Advisor's Office confirmed that the general election will take place in the first half of February 2026.
"This is the interim government's solemn commitment to the people of Bangladesh. Any attempt to delay or disrupt the election through conspiracies or obstacles will be firmly resisted by the interim government and our democracy-loving patriotic citizens,” the statement read.
Firmly reiterating that the next parliamentary election will be held in the first half of February 2026, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said Saturday.
"No force will be able to obstruct the polls. We are firmly saying that the polls will be held before February 15. No force can prevent it. No conspiracy can stop it. The environment is sufficiently conducive to hold the elections," he said while briefing the reports in front of Chief Adviser's residence Jamuna in the city Saturday afternoon.
The press secretary also said that the Chief Adviser will hold meetings with three political parties - BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and NCP- at Jamuna tomorrow.
The meeting with BNP will be held at 3 pm while separate meetings with Jamaat and NCP will be held at 4.30pm and 6 pm respectively.
Discussions will focus on the current political situation and the upcoming national election, Shafiqul Alam said.
