Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's BNP demands election by July-August
Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Tuesday demanded that the general election be held by July-August this year, refuting interim government chief adviser Muhammad Yunus's stance to stage it by the year-end or mid-2026. «There is no reason to delay the election that much,» said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir after an overnight meeting of the party's standing committee that was chaired virtually by acting BNP chairperson Tarique Rahman from London.

Alamgir said the standing committee held a lengthy discussion on Yunus's planned election deadline but came up with a conclusion that the polls should not be delayed for so long as voters list updating should not take more than a month and other related tasks would take one to two months at most.
«We believe, as the Election Commission has already been formed and there is relative stability in governance, there is no reason to delay the national election further. Delays only deepen the political and economic crises,» he said.
The BNP also opposed the idea propagated by some leaders of the interim government to hold local government elections before parliamentary polls.
