BNP disappointed over absence of clear election roadmap

BNP expressed disappointment on Tuesday as the government has yet to present a clear and specific roadmap for the next national election, even after Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus’ recent meetings with political parties.

 

Speaking at a press conference, BNP Standing Committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain also said their party found the statement made by the advisory council prior to the meetings with political parties to be vague and misleading.

 

“We are disappointed that the government statement that came through the Chief Adviser’s press secretary regarding his meetings with political parties lacks a clear roadmap for the national election,” he said.

 

He reaffirmed that the BNP and other political parties have never called for the resignation of the Chief Adviser, nor do they seek it now.

 

“But we have consistently called for a roadmap for a free and impartial national parliamentary election by December 2025 under the leadership of the interim government,” Mosharraf said.

 

Amid political tension and various speculations, with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus had separate meetings with BNP, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, and the National Citizen Party (NCP) on Saturday at his official residence, Jamuna.

 

He also held meetings with 20 other political parties the fllowing day.
