- The meeting is scheduled for 12:00 pm at State Guesthouse Jamuna in the capital, led by Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
- BNP demands a December election and specific roadmap, while Yunus’s latest statements mention a period extending to June 2026.
- Constituency boundaries remain unresolved, and the Election Commission’s redistricting proposal is still pending at the Law Ministry.
- If Yunus fails to reassure senior leaders, BNP may return to the streets with allies, potentially through rallies, processions and marches.
The Chief Adviser promised to us that he has been conducting all the activities with a view to holding the election in December. In no way its alternative is acceptable. In addition, the statements made by some of the advisers about the elections and their posts on social media make it seem like there is an effort ongoing to delay the elections. In the meeting, we will ask when he will give the election roadmap and instructions to the Election Commission for the elections.— Salahuddin Ahmed, BNP Standing Committee member, speaking to Prothom Alo
