A seven-member delegation from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, met with Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the state guesthouse Jamuna to discuss the roadmap for the upcoming national election. The meeting, which began at 12:10pm, was aimed at pressing for a specific timeline for the election, with BNP insisting on holding it by December this year. The BNP delegation planned to submit a written statement urging the announcement of an election roadmap and warned of launching street protests if the government fails to provide a timeline. Following the meeting, BNP expressed dissatisfaction with the Chief Adviser's reiteration that the election would be held between December and June. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stated that BNP is not at all satisfied and emphasized that if the election is not held by December, the country's political and social situation could deteriorate further. The party is also concerned about the ongoing reform process and the lack of a clear commitment to complete it by June. The BNP delegation included standing committee members such as Salahuddin Ahmed, Mirza Abbas, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, Nazrul Islam Khan, Jamir Uddin Sircar, and Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury. The party had previously discussed its stance on the election and potential talking points in a meeting led by Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman. BNP has outlined a series of peaceful programs over the next three months as part of its organizational preparations for the election.
