The head of the interim government will meet with each party separately, starting with the BNP at 3pm, followed by Jamaat at 4:30pm, and NCP at 6pm, according to his press aide Shafiqul Alam.
Alam said the decision was made at a high-level meeting chaired by Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna on Saturday. Senior officials, including the national security advisor and the special assistant on home affairs, attended the meeting.
A statement from the Chief Advisor’s Office confirmed that the general election will take place in the first half of February 2026, reports bdnews24.com.
“This is the interim government’s solemn commitment to the people of Bangladesh. Any attempt to delay or disrupt the election through conspiracies or obstacles will be firmly resisted by the interim government and our democracy-loving patriotic citizens,” the statement read.
“The will of the people will prevail, and no malicious force will be allowed to impede our progress on the democratic path,” it added.
