Bangladesh will be one of the first countries in the world to deploy the 5G (fifth generation) mobile technology in the world, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ICT affairs adviser, says.

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda expresses his hope that BNP will participate in the next national elections.

Prime political opposition BNP says out strongly that it will not allow any parliamentary election in the country with its Chairperson Khaleda Zia behind bars.

A three-member BNP delegation is now in India and holding talks with the country's leading think-tanks over different issues, including the parliamentary elections of Bangladesh likely in December.

BNP demands the reconstitution of the Election Commission as it said the current Commission is not capable of conducting a credible national election.

Some BNP leaders yesterday suggested that the party should not contest the next parliamentary elections without having Chairperson Khaleda Zia freed from jail.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that the Election Commission does not have the ability to hold the next general election in a fair manner.

Awami League General Secretary and Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader says election-time government would be formed with members of the political parties having representation in the Jatiya Sangsad (parliament).

BNP calls upon the government to pave the path of holding the next general election in a free, fair and inclusive manner after releasing its Chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail unconditionally.

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader categorically rules out the possibility of the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina before the next parliament election.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader says the government has no intention to keep BNP aside from the next parliament polls.

The government is attempting to arrange a stage managed one-sided election again keeping BNP out of the electoral process, party's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleges.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader says BNP will certainly take part in the upcoming general election though its chairperson Khaleda Zia may not join it for her conviction.
