BNP Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed on Friday night said the nation’s expectations have not been fulfilled with the Chief Adviser’s speech regarding the fresh roadmap for the next parliamentary election.
In an immediate reaction, Salahuddin told UNB that, “The Chief Adviser’s speech has not met the expectations of the nation.”
He said their party Standing Committee is sitting for an emergency meeting at 9pm, to be chaired by Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.
The BNP leader said they will elaborately discuss the matter and work out the next course of action.
Salahuddin also said the BNP would come up with a detailed reaction to the Chief Adviser’s announced new election outline after holding discussions with other political parties involved in the simultaneous movement.
Earlier, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, in his address to the nation, announced that the next national election will be held some time in the first half of April 2026, reaffirming the government’s commitment to reform, justice and democratic progress.
“After reviewing the ongoing reforms in justice, governance and the electoral process, I am announcing today that the next national election will be held in the first half of April 2026,” he said in a televised address to the nation in the evening.
