Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today questioned how Tarique Rahman can lead BNP when “he can’t dare to return home”.

Former chief election commissioners KM Nurul Huda and ATM Shamsul Huda today said participation of all political parties is a must for an “acceptable” election.

The Election Commission today (May 26, 2022) started the registration process for new political parties.

The recent statements by the Awami League high-ups that electronic voting machines will be used in all constituencies in the next general election have triggered a fresh debate, as the BNP vehemently opposes it while the Election Commission remains undecided.

The government will make all-out efforts to bring opposition BNP to the next parliamentary election, slated for late next year.
