Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to hold meetings today (Sunday) with Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizen Party, before sitting with BNP leaders.
The discussions in the three separate meetings will focus on the current political situation and the upcoming national election, scheduled to be held in February, as per a UNB report.
On Saturday, the interim government reiterated in its strongest terms that the national election will be held on time, in the first half of February 2026.
“This is the solemn commitment of the interim government to the people of Bangladesh. All conspiracies, obstructions, or attempts to delay or derail the election will be firmly resisted by the interim government and our democracy-loving patriotic people,” the government said in a statement.
It said that the people’s will shall prevail and no evil force will be allowed to undermine the “march to democracy.”
The interim government also called for unity among all political and social forces that took part in the July Uprising. “This unity is essential to protect the gains of our struggle, to resist all conspiracies against the people’s mandate, and to ensure our successful transition to democracy,” it said.
