National Citizens’ Party (NCP) convener Md Nahid Islam urged that the ‘July Charter’ outlining Bangladesh’s future governance be completed before announcing the national election date. Marking one year since the July uprising on August 5, NCP wants to celebrate the milestone with the charter in place.
Speaking after a political parties’ meeting with the Consensus Commission at the Foreign Service Academy, Nahid appealed to parties and the government for patience. “We have waited 16 years and 10 months; let’s wait two more months to draft the July Charter and ensure reforms,” he said.
Nahid stressed that election reforms, including restructuring the Election Commission, are essential. He called for unity among parties to prioritise national interest over individual gains for a successful election process.
