Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher yesterday urged the BNP to sit for talks to resolve the ongoing “political crisis” centring the implementation of the July charter, the proposed referendum, and the upcoming national election.

The BNP Standing Committee is set to meet today, aiming to review and finalise the list of candidates for the upcoming national election.

BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman yesterday voiced concern about the growing public doubt over the national election being held as scheduled, and said this “uncertainty could make the country’s democratic transition more difficult”.

BNP Standing Committee Member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy yesterday said the interim government might not survive if the party launches protests over disputes surrounding the July National Charter and its implementation recommendations.

Shafiqur Rahman has been re-elected as the ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami for the 2026–2028 term.

National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam yesterday came down heavily on BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, accusing the parties of obstructing state reform initiatives and plotting to delay the national polls.

Reforms are a prerequisite for February election, he says
